Studies
We offer bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD programmes in four disciplines, in addition to a teacher education programme. Students encounter research-based teaching, close academic supervision, and a varied range of courses.
As a student at the department, you will have the opportunity to take practice-oriented courses relevant to working life, specialise in topics you are passionate about, and explore the world through one of our many exchange agreements.
