Description

Yiddish is one of Sweden's national minority languages and Lund University is the only university in Scandinavia that offers teaching and conducts research in Yiddish. Knowledge of Yiddish is valuable for those who want to learn more about Yiddish culture, work with language understanding and/or conduct research in the plethora of writings and primary materials that remains unedited or untranslated. As a primary school teacher, you also have the opportunity to qualify to teach Yiddish as an optional heritage language in elementary school.

In this the first of our two beginner courses, you will learn the basic skills in speaking, form learning, syntax and vocabulary in Yiddish. The course aims to familiarize you with simpler texts in both Yiddish and in translation, and to give yourself the ability to translate shorter texts. In addition, it will provide an orientation in how the language has been used throughout history. Teaching takes the form of lectures and group exercises.

Grammar, Reading Comprehension and Translation, 5 ECTS

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.
