This study programme is philological and cross-disciplinary, especially toward area studies. The main frame is the practical knowledge of Norwegian language, in connection with linguistic disciplines (morphology, lexicology) and practical application. The conception of the study programme is to encompass the overview and address the details within Norwegian culture, literature, history, and contemporary development. Czech-Norwegian relations in different fields are an important part of the curricula. The most important aspect is the inclusion of Scandinavian, European, and bilateral dimensions. The highest value of this study programme is in the integration of education and individual growth, communication and experience.

This three-year study programme is based on two parallel education strategies. The first strategy is language acquisition combined with linguistic subjects such as morphology, lexicology, and syntax. The second strategy is understanding the complexity of the context in the field of historic and contemporary Norwegian and Scandinavian culture, literature, and realia. Literary history and theory according to various streams and art directions are an important part of the study programme (semi-optional courses). The diploma thesis presents the theoretical knowledge and learned skills, presented in Czech, English, or Norwegian.

Practical training is obtained through study stays abroad, through workshops arranged with Norwegian teachers, and in the form of occasional translating and interpreting (in groups or individually).

The final state examination is written and oral. The exam and the diploma thesis certify independent, creative, and critical thinking, as well as the ability to use the instruments of the discipline and to work with primary and secondary sources in Norwegian.
