Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, Master Programme

Join a mini global community at an international university. The class takes you to all corners of the world through learning shared experiences, the students and the teachers, and the modules in the program. There is a close collaboration with the global research environment Concurrences. The first semester lays the foundation with studies in the history of imperialism and central theories in postcolonial criticism. A broad choice of courses introduces you to, among other things, Nordic colonialism, environmental history, indigenous studies, and the scientific approach of the Enlightenment. The programme gives you training in field study, archival research, planning and leading seminars. The programme is particularly suited for you who seek to work in domestic and foreign administration, non-governmental organisations (NGO), schools, news media, museums and cultural institutions. The program is in English. The programme is preparatory to PhD research training.
