Master of Arts (Honours) - Scandinavian Studies and Social Policy (RL64)

The languages, history, politics, and culture of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden have long had a significant impact beyond the Nordic region. Today, Scandinavian languages and cultures continue to gain popularity, and the socio-economic concept of the Nordic Model is widely researched.

The combination of Scandinavian Studies and Social Policy is an excellent choice for joint honors. This program offers the opportunity to study a modern language within its cultural context, as well as the distribution of welfare and well-being within societies and the policies that shape this distribution.

The focus of this program is on social and economic change, its causes, and its consequences for society. Students will also explore the development of policies and learn about the policy-making process in the UK, including the influence of international bodies such as the EU and The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development .

The program covers a wide range of policy areas, including health, welfare, labor markets, education, and family and childhood. A professional tone is maintained throughout the program, ensuring a rigorous and comprehensive study of these subjects.
