Scandinavian Studies

Hej hej! I'll being doing Swedish from scratch rather than Norwegian :-) So you're native Norwegian and are going to study Norwegian? Aren't you fluent already? :-P

Umm well im half norwegian, and have gone to an english speaking school my entire life.. my norwegian is relatively good but im probably just a little bit better than someone doing higher french B in IB.. so i want to perfect it what made you choose swedish??

This is very coolio Are you starting this September or are you doing deferred entry?

I've been to Sweden quite a lot of I've just been more immersed in the countries culture etc... so it seems only fitting that I learn the language of the country I love Having said that, I'd love to go to Norway this summer maybe for a little inter-railing around. I hear the Oslo - Bergen train journey is one of the finest in the world

do you know which unis in scandinavia we're allowed to choose for our year abroad btw?

Yeah, tis just those two UCL has links with for Norway. You can go elsewhere if you want to, but it takes more sorting out as there are no established links elsewhere, and you miss out on Erasmus funding and the like.

C-

oh right.. okay, do you know if that's the university of oslo? or another one? and where do you find out this stuff??

Year 3 is spent abroad, studying at a university in the relevant Scandinavian country. You will also be writing your year abroad dissertation on a topic of your choice, supervised by a member of staff from UCL. Students choose from the following options where we have Socrates links:
Denmark: Aarhus, Copenhagen
Norway: Oslo, Tromsø
Sweden: Karlstad, Linköping, Umeå, Uppsala, Växjö
Finland: Åbo (Turku) (for Swedish language students)

UCL is always slow at replying, one of the slowest in fact.
