Introduction

The World of the High North - How does life in the northernmost part of the world affect natural resources, politics, and the economy? What is unique about this region? And how can its inhabitants be best prepared for the coming century? If you want to make a difference to the peoples of this region and prefer an online study, we welcome you to this amazing interdisciplinary one-year experience. The study can be extended to a bachelor's in Northern Studies. You will see the world with new eyes. In a good way. Program description Duration: 1 year  Credits (ECTS): 60 Admission requirements: Higher Education Entrance Qualification and certified language requirements in English Degree Name: None Application code: Norwegian and Nordic applicants: 186 202 International applicants: 2066 The program provides the student with a wide knowledge of northern societies, how they have shaped through historical path-dependence and in the power-fields of international relations, but also by innovative multilateral partnerships such as those fostered within e.g. the Barents Euro-Arctic Region and in the work of the Arctic Council. The one-year program opens with Introduction to Multidisciplinary Studies, giving information on the academic standards to be met by the students in their course-work, and goes on to introduce the methodology of the interdisciplinary approach to Northern Circumpolar Studies. Through five courses; Introduction to the Circumpolar World, Peoples and Cultures of the Circumpolar World, Land and Environment of the Circumpolar World, and Contemporary Issues of the Circumpolar World (1 and 2), students are introduced to a set of basic discourses of the Subarctic and Arctic Regions. The courses give the students a basis of facts and an introduction to relevant theory from the fields of geopolitics, ecology and geosciences, social anthropology, and history geared towards northern issues. This enables the students to understand complex contemporary debates on e.g. land-uses and regional development and to start to articulate their own opinions. All courses are given online.
