Introduction
This programme aims to provide insight into and knowledge about the Circumpolar North, with emphasis on natural resources, sustainable development, business, culture, politics and society, including indigenous people’s situation in The High North. The programme is interdisciplinarily based, with roots in the social sciences. Parts of the programme can be taken as distance learning.
General description and profile of the programme
This programme is an international program for students interested in society, politics and living conditions in the High North. The programme offers an international bachelor's degree providing the opportunity to study (with a scholarship) at a foreign university. The major in circumpolar studies, minimum 90 ECTS, can be combined with any other major or electives of 90 ECTS. This implies that courses and programmes according to the student's own preferences may make up the remaining credits, but we advise that these credits are used to develop a major in another subject in order to widen the opportunities for available master programmes within the UArctic network.

Studieplaner
The major in circumpolar studies consists of 4 core courses (60 ECTS) and 3 advanced emphasis courses (30 ECTS). The following core courses are all available on- line:
BCS105X An Introduction to the Humanities and to the Circumpolar World (15 ECTS) BCS115X Land and Environment of the Circumpolar World I and II (15 ECTS) BCS125X Peoples and Cultures of the Circumpolar World I and II (15 ECTS) BCS135X Contemporary Issues of the Circumpolar World I and II (15 ECTS)
The international BCS secretariat for the University of the Arctic (UAarctic) offers the same courses on-line, organized as seven 6 ECTS courses. These courses can be combined with our 15 ECTS BCS courses. For further information, see the course information (below) or visit the home page of The University of the Arctic. www.uarctic.org
The advanced emphasis courses of the bachelor programme form a one semester programme:
SA210S Scandinavian Politics, 10 ECTS SA212S Northern Scandinavian Societies, 10 ECTS SA218S History, Politics and Northern resources, 10 ECTS
The three advanced emphasis courses are both delivered on-site as ordinary taught courses as well as on-line.
The advanced emphasis courses are offered in the autumn semester. Other UArctic member institutions offer courses in the spring semester. BCS students may for this reason proceed with their advanced part of the programme during the semester they prefer.
Further information is available on the UArctic home page www.uarctic.org or by contacting the faculty responsible or the academically responsible for the programme. Students wishing to take advanced emphasis courses at a networking institution of UArctic, may apply for scholarships (North2North). The academically responsible person for the programme at UIN then confirms that the chosen courses will be accepted as part of the BCS programme.
