The Scandinavian Area Studies programme (SAS), at the
University of Southern Denmark, Odense, is the only
programme of its kind in Denmark. It is unique in its
philosophy of matching the teaching of the Danish language
from scratch with the presentation of Scandinavian cultural,
social, political, economic and historical life.
The programme runs for 15 weeks each autumn semester
(beginning of September till mid-December) and consists of
three courses offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences and
three courses offered by the Faculty of Humanities:

* Please note that
the SAS programme is primarily designed for
students with no or very little knowledge of

for 'Danish Language for Beginners' - (170 hrs). A
shorter course 'Advanced Danish Language' (50 hrs)
is offered to students with an advanced level in
one of the Scandinavian languages (see
course
descriptions). The
availability of this course is determined by the
number of applicants. Otherwise, students with good
language skills in one of the Scandinavian
languages are advised to enroll in the regular
teaching programme at the Faculty of Social
Sciences and/or the Faculty of
Humanities.
