Yes you can do three languages. I'm thinking of applying for that next year. It's available at Durham, Nottingham, Sheffield, Southampton, Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool, Surrey, Bangor, Salford, Ulster, Leicester... All tend to have a choice of 3 from at least french, german, italian and spanish, but some offer even more.
The only places I know that do 2 languages combined with something else are Durham, Sussex and Aston... probably more. But I can't remember them.
The only universities I know that do scandanavian languages are Sheffield (only swedish I think) and UCL. What's the 3rd one?
Why not go onto www.ucas.com and go to the course search and look for more detail?

Think St Andrews does it or Edinburgh, I applied to bham, Durham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Soton & Cambridge, the first 5 were for French/Spanish/German or French/Spanish/Italian.
Other languages you can do include Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Catalan, Chinese, Japanese (not European but still) and more I expect

UCL offer a ton of weird ones... ok not weird, but 'unique' or 'unusual'

i think UEA does scandinavian languages, i seem to remember them being mentioned when i went for an open day a few years ago, but maybe this is only as a minor. i think there you study three languages in your first year.

Nottingham do Contemporary European Studies with Marketing, but it is changing to '....with Business' next year. They also do European Studies where you do either History and 2 languages, Politics and 2 languages or one language and history and politics. Have a look at the European Studies course at UCL, you can combine 2 langages with another subject like economics; UCL also offers loads of eastern european languages like Hungarian and Chech (spelling??) which might be worth a look at.
Durham does a Combined Honours degree in which you could do 2 languages and another subject, which is very flexible.
Also there's a European Studies course at Royal Holloway that allows you to do 2 languages and another subject like international studies, management, economics and even geography.

oh and gringalet... it is more correct to say Πρεπει να φυγεις τωρα? instead of "χρειαζεται". the latter being "need" and the former meaning "must".
[just friendly advise from a greek guy"]
u should hear greeks speak. many of them cant even speak their langauge properly {same as the english}:P
