In years one, two and your final year you will take language modules in your chosen languages, as well as cultural modules related to them. You may also take modules focusing on literature, film, linguistics and history from an interdisciplinary perspective.You will spend your third year abroad, split between two countries where your chosen languages are spoken. You will achieve the same linguistic competence regardless of whether you start a language from scratch or have previous knowledge of it.
This is a Romanian language module. This is a course for students who have little or no prior knowledge of Romanian and who wish to attain a level of competence that will allow them to communicate effectively in a number of straightforward situations. Students will also be introduced to the reading of simple texts, including works of literature, in Romanian. The course provides knowledge of basic Romanian grammar and vocabulary as well as an introduction to the culture of Romania and societies where Romanian is spoken.
This is a Romanian language module. By the end of the course students should be able: to understand a wide range of authentic spoken and written Romanian from predictable topic areas; to extract required information and record it accurately and coherently in English; to manipulate spoken and written Romanian with appropriate and accurate use of lexis and grammatical structures in a variety of contexts and registers; to speak with confidence and accuracy appropriate to this level about many aspects of life and culture in Romania and societies where Romanian is spoken; to demonstrate understanding of translation by discussing problems of specific translations from and into Romanian; to successfully translate a range of texts from and into Romanian; to demonstrate knowledge and active use of more complex grammatical structures and a wide range of vocabulary in Romanian.
This is a Romanian language module. Students can choose 30 credits compulsory language courses either (when Romanian is ab initio): SEER0001 - Romanian Language Level 1 Or (when Romanian is post A Level): SEER0005 - Romanian Language Level 2a ?

This is a Danish language module. This module focuses mainly on language as a set of formal, interdependent sub-systems, such as phonetics/phonology (sound production and sound systems), grammar in the sense of morphology (word-formation and word classes) and syntax (phrases, clauses, sentences and word order), as well as on broader aspects of language as a special communication system. This will initially be illustrated with the help of English and the knowledge thus gained will then be applied to the mainland Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish). Where it adds to the discussion and understanding, reference will also be made to Icelandic and Faroese.
The module aims to strengthen the individual student?s awareness of different strategies and methods for language learning; be goal-oriented in the work with the language skills: speaking, understanding, writing and reading and with the basic elements pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar; enable the students to express themselves about everyday topics in speech and writing, to understand everyday conversations, and to read texts of a reasonable level of difficulty. Class work is communicative and task-oriented, encouraging students to be active participants, to take responsibility for their own learning and to see work outside class as an integrated part of classroom teaching.

The module aims to: build on and improve students? existing language skills, taking students up to a level of near-native proficiency in all four language skills: speaking, understanding, writing and reading; enable the students to express themselves in clear, concise, coherent, fluent, and linguistically and grammatically correct Danish.
The module aims to expand the vocabulary, oral skills and written skills of students who already have a high level of fluency and proficiency in their chosen language. It is designed to challenge all students at their individual level and give them the maximum opportunity to develop their own strengths within the framework of the module, while at the same time give the students the opportunity to undertake a longer and more in-depth study of a specific topic that relates to their main language.
This module is designed to (a) provide practice in translation from the three languages, (b) identify strategies for using knowledge of one Scandinavian language to develop comprehension of the other two, and (c) introduce translation theory and apply it to practical translation tasks. The module is timetabled for one hour per week throughout the academic year, in order to provide ample time to develop skills. The first five weeks focus on translation theory, using a range of authentic translations to identify approaches most relevant in the Scandinavian context. Thereafter, classes cover a range of text-types and genres across the three languages, organised in three language-specific blocs of five weeks each. The module is team-taught by language specialists and with occasional guest appearances from practising Scandinavian-English translators. Students may be able to attend events relating to translation throughout the year, including one or more briefing sessions on translation careers and technological tools for translators.
The dissertation is a compulsory element of the Scandinavian Studies degree. It is an original academic work on a topic completely of your choosing. You can write on any topic you like (so long as a staff member is willing to supervise it) but are encouraged to write on a topic relating to your specialism (the language, literature, culture, history etc. of the Scandinavian country you have focused on during your studies). Students decide on a topic and find a supervisor by the end of the first term of their final year. They then research their project over the remaining part of their final year and submit their dissertation as per deadline. Writing a dissertation gives you an opportunity to pursue a topic of interest to you in depth; to produce work that is based on original research; and to develop your research techniques and skills in academic writing. It can be one of the most satisfying parts of the degree and you can use it to draw together knowledge you have acquired over the course of your studies. A successful dissertation may well form the starting point for further, more independent work at the postgraduate level, and it will be seen as an important indicator of an aptitude for research.
Norse myths and medieval sagas have been the source for ?popular? cultural trends since the first nationalistic approach of the Romantics in 19th century Europe. Today, such Norse-based representations have established a distinct visual and thematic identity within popular culture transcending national and cultural boundaries. Through study of the source myths combined with theoretical analysis of various popular texts such as fantasy and graphic novels, comic books, film, music, video games and MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games), this module will guide students to situate these depictions within a larger theoretical framework of Nordic studies and cultural theory, while simultaneously enabling them to analyse their own relationship with the various representations of the ?popular Norse?.
This module builds on the foundation laid by SCAN1102 Introduction to Linguistics and the Scandinavian Languages, and is aimed at students in their second or fourth year of study. Exploring the structures and usage of the Scandinavian languages in their modern form, the module covers areas such as language form, language meaning and language in context. The module seeks to offer students a theoretical grounding in the broad field of Linguistics and neighbouring disciplines, and a solid introduction to their methods and applications (including the study of speech, dialects and sociolects), with a key feature being cross-linguistic comparison between the Scandinavian languages.
