Description
Arctic Studies provide an opportunity for students to focus on the Arctic as a particular field of specialisation within their chosen master’s degree programme.Arctic Studies can be chosen as an integral part of a number of AAU's master’s programmes:
- Culture, Communication and Globalisation
- Development and International Relations
- European Studies
- Tourism (Aalborg)
In the present years Arctic scholars have to rethink how we approach and understand the Arctic, not only because the ice is melting, but also because the political and societal scenes are changing rapidly. The specialization in Arctic Studies provides an advanced understanding of the Arctic region and its relationship with the rest of world, seen in historical, social, political and cultural dimensions.
Arctic Studies contribute with new problem-based research and teaching that engages the real-life problems which Arctic communities are facing today. This specialisation gives particular attention to studies in the human sciences within the areas of social, cultural and political analysis, inter-cultural communication, nation-building, post-colonialism, geo-politics, international relations, globalisation, governance and sustainable development (including tourism and the management of the natural and cultural heritage).
Career Opportunities
In particular, the Arctic Studies specialisation prepares students for employment in areas of community development, tourism, culture dissemination and analysis, intercultural communication and local government in or with reference to the Arctic.Admission
