Hello! I haven't been on this website for many a month, but for some reason I find myself back here this evening. I just completed the "and history" programme, so I can answer questions on that.
I note that you guys are discussing year abroad options and the current lack of Bergen as an option for Norway. I would say that a lot can change in 2/3 years (after all, your years in Norden are a way off yet), exchange agreements do sometimes end, whilst new ones also come about. For instance, from what I've been told, sometimes they lapse simply because nobody has used them for a few years - but if you ask nicely and make a good case for why want to go to X instead of the available Ys, the department might just be willing to investigate setting up a new agreement. I know at least in the Swedish case that a couple of new agreements were recently formed due to "popular demand". Apparently it was surprisingly easy to do this. I guess UCL has such a good reputation these days (doing well on all the global rankings etc) and is in a city that many Scandinavians love, most universities in the region jump at the chance of forming an agreement. And of course, some feel a certain responsibility to cooperate with one of the few centres teaching the Nordic languages at university level outside of the region. What my long winded ramble is trying to say is, it -might- (emphasis on the might) just be possible to go to Bergen after all - but it's certainly nothing to bank on.
