BLEKINGE INTERNATIONAL STUDY/INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

School of Literature, Communication and Culture (LCC) undergraduate students may prefer to participate in a more humanities-oriented program at the Blekinge Tekniska Hogskola (BTH) in Karlskrona, Sweden. BTH offers a variety of classes, in English, modeled on LCC`s studio and media studies courses. Classes apply directly to the LCC requirements for the Science, Technology and Culture (STAC) or Computational Media (CM) degree.

Sweden

Being the largest of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden offers you many opportunities for cultural and outdoor activities. Visit the cities and explore the country's glorious past or the life in a cosmopolitan and modern society. If you need rest from the hectic city life, just leave for the countryside, and vast forests, 90000 lakes, mountains and the beautiful sea await you.

Though on the outskirts of Europe, Sweden was never a cultural outpost. The royalty often invited foreign artists to their courts and also stimulated the development of local artists. Furthermore the Swedish developed their own traditions in design, painting and architecture.
