Campus-based English One-Year Programme
Description

In an age where English is emerging as the common, global language for science, society and cultural exchange, English language skills are essential for participation in cultural and scientific debates.

The campus-based English One-Year Programme in Bodø (3EN) provides a comprehensive disciplinary introduction to the study of English, with a focus on its practical, scientific and artistic aspects. Through engaging the field’s dynamic intellectual tradition, students develop their capacity for critical reflection within a broader cultural perspective.

Location Bodø campus
Code 3EN
Credits 60 ECTS
Form Full-time studies

The Programme includes a rich re-introduction to the English language in the context of American and British literature and culture from the early modern period until today, and makes it possible to understand and participate in international cultural developments and debates in which Norway plays a part. Students cultivate skills in language construction and critical thinking, and also develop insight into the teaching profession.

A popular feature of the programme is the annual study trip to the Norwegian Study Centre in York, UK.

Our excellent lecturers have long educational and work experience from the UK and North America, and offer students a programme with an internationally high standard, in both the linguistic and cultural components.

The campus-based English One-Year Programme opens the doors to careers and further education for diverse range of occupations, both in Norway and abroad. It is therefore an ideal “starter programme” for recent high school graduates looking to experience university life, but who don’t know where to begin.
