A good command of Swedish is required

The Department of Swedish Language and Multilingualism at Stockholm University offers a wide range of courses. At the unit that is the former Department of Scandinavian Languages, the majority of the courses are studies in Swedish, Swedish for second language teaching and Scandinavian languages (such as Norwegian, Danish, Viking-age and medieval texts), all of which require a good command of Swedish.
