Description
Nine Yiddish films are screened during the course. The films selected are from the golden age of Yiddish film which took place in the first half of the 20th century and are used as a starting point for an introductory discussion of some important currents of modern Yiddish culture in Central and Eastern Europe, the USA and the Soviet Union.
The main aim of the course is to demonstrate how the films shape important themes within modern Jewish culture: homelessness, emigration, dissolution of family traditions and secularisation. All the films screened have subtitles in English.
Other information
The course is a combined campus and distance course, which means that you can choose to apply to the option that suits your situation best. If you choose the distance option you participate by using the online video meeting tool Zoom. Please be aware that classes and seminars take place during daytime and may be obligatory, also for you who study on a distance.
Information, material, exercises etc. will be found at the course homepage on the education platform Canvas.

Note!
This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.
How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees
Non-EU/EEA citizens
Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.

EU/EEA citizens and Switzerland

Application fee
If you are required to pay tuition fees, you are generally also required to pay an application fee of SEK 900 (approximately EUR 100) when you apply at universityadmissions.se. You pay one application fee regardless of how many programmes or courses you apply to.
