UCL's Scandinavian Studies MA offers an intellectually exciting and flexible range of options focusing on Nordic culture in a global context. No prior knowledge of a Nordic language is required, though students can opt to consolidate their language or translation skills, or to start Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian or Swedish from scratch.

This degree allows students to choose 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 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 and a summer school 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.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme offers two pathways: taught and research.

Taught: one core cross-language module (30 credits), three taught modules (90 credits), and a dissertation (60 credits).

Research: one core cross-language module (30 credits), two taught modules (60 credits), and a research dissertation (90 credits).

A Postgraduate Diploma, one core module (30 credits), three optional modules (90 credits) full-time nine months or part-time two years, is offered.

A Postgraduate Certificate, one core module (30 credits), one optional module (30 credits) full-time three months, part-time six months, is offered.

Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MA in Language, Culture and History: Scandinavian Studies. Upon successful completion of 120 credits, you will be awarded a PG Dip in Language, Culture and History: Scandinavian Studies. Upon successful completion of 60 credits, you will be awarded a PG Cert in Language, Culture and History: Scandinavian Studies.
