Our department comprises all the languages taught at the Faculty of Humanities, with the exception of Swedish and the other Nordic languages.

We offer courses and pursue research in the major European languages as well as in languages that are more distant from a geographical and historical point of view.
It is not only language that is the object of our courses and our research, but also the literatures and cultures that the language in question is part of.
We offer independent courses at undergraduate and master levels in the different languages as well as doctoral studies in most of these.
A number of the languages are part of various programmes: teacher education, the Master's programme Languages and Intercultural Communication, etc.
We also offer a number of web-based courses and distance courses.
