A knowledge of Swedish gives access to the rich world of Swedish culture and experience as well as the literature of Scandinavia in general. Swedish language skills also facilitate knowledge and research into the Swedish advances in many fields, including Architecture, Economics, Physical and Chemical Sciences, Medicine, Films, Sociology, Design, Town Planning and Technology. The Department's subjects focus on both Swedish language and literature. The Department offers a single stream of Swedish language study, which is suitable for students who have little or no prior knowledge of the language.

 1. Requirements for a Major

A Major in Swedish usually consists of 125 points comprising:

• Four first-year subjects in Swedish (37.5 points), and;

• Second-year subjects in Swedish equivalent to 37.5 points, and;

• Four third-year subjects in Swedish (50 points).

A Major must include the following subjects:

• 126-072 Swedish Culture and Society A, and;

• 126-073 Swedish Culture and Society B.

 2. Diploma in Modern Languages (Swedish)

The Diploma in Modern Languages (DML) enables students to gain a diploma in language study while completing an undergraduate degree at the University of Melbourne.

The DML usually involves a three-year sequence of language study, totalling a minimum of 100 points. It adds one year to the duration of an ordinary degree course.

The DML (Swedish) is offered in the Beginners stream. Swedish subjects are taken alongside degree subjects in an integrated sequence of study. This must be approved by a Faculty course adviser and the Head of the Germanic Studies and Russian Department. See Diploma in Modern Languages (DML).
