Course summary

Develop your understanding of Scandinavian culture in a global context while learning a Nordic language through this degree. The Language, Culture and History: Scandinavian Studies MA is taught at UCL, home to the UK’s largest centre in Scandinavian studies with one of the best libraries on Scandinavia outside of the region. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn or improve your knowledge of Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian or Swedish. This degree allows students to examine the Nordic world in depth from a variety of different angles, including acquiring advanced translation skills, or studying Nordic cinema, Nordic literature in a global perspective, the transnational politics of the region, and material cultures as well as modules on Viking and medieval Scandinavia. Assessed modules are supplemented with workshops providing opportunities for networking and career development in publishing, translation, film-making, and the heritage and creative sectors.Students with no or limited prior knowledge of a Scandinavian language (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, or Old Norse) may be able, subject to approval by the programme and module convenors, to audit an undergraduate Scandinavian language module at the appropriate level. This module cannot be taken for credit counting towards the MA degree.
