Language and Literature - Modern Language and Literature

The Department of Scandinavian Languages and Literatures of the UBB is the only academic institution in Romania offering a Bachelor program in Norwegian language and literature, accredited at national level - both as major (A) and minor (B). The BA provides courses of Norwegian phonetics, morphology, syntax, lexicology, language variation, literature, translation, culture and civilization, didactics as well as one optional/selected course of Swedish. The Norwegian language and literature BA program has continuously functioned since 1991 when it was created at the Faculty of Letters. In 2001, the Department of Scandinavian languages and literatures was created having at its core the Norwegian study program. The Nordic Studies Library opened in 1997 represents an important study environment for students and staff. The internationalization of the program comprises exchange mobility programs for students and staff at Norwegian and European academic institutions, summer courses, Norwegian visiting professors, meetings with Norwegian writers.

The specialization can be combined with Chinese as a segment B language. The primary objective of the Chinese Language and Literature specialization is to develop not only a linguistic competence which would allow the students' fluent use of the Chinese language, but also the constitution of a cultural background which would aid them in their future endeavour of developing their Sinology studies. The courses are being taught both in Romanian and in Chinese.
