Scandinavian Studies In this programme, you will specialise in the modern language of either  Denmark, Norway or Sweden, within the context of Scandinavian culture, past and present. Over the course of your programme, you will also gain an understanding of the other two languages. You do not need a previous knowledge of any of the languages as all classes are taught from beginners' level. Our relatively small class sizes provide a very supportive learning environment. History History enables us to understand how the world has developed and become what it is today. Studying events and issues from the past also affects the way we see the present and future. This programme courses cover a wide range of different periods, from early medieval history to the contemporary world. Geographically, we explore Britain, Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. This programme also gives you the opportunity to choose from a broad range of historical themes, including political history, cultural history, economic and social history, environmental history and gender history.
