About the course
Course content
The course code is used by master’s students in Scandinavian Studies to follow a NORD/SPRÅK 2000-level course taught during the fall semester. Students attend classes and follow the reading list for the NORD/SPRÅK 2000-level course of their choice, but have a different assessment form. The course code NORD 3402 can only be used once. This course code cannot be used for a NORD/SPRÅK 2000-level course where the course content and/or the reading list overlaps with those of previous courses already taken by the student.
