Scandinavian Studies MScR
A Masters by Research (MScR) programme is ideal if you have a clear idea of the independent research you wish to undertake at masters level. One of the few centres for the study of modern Scandinavian languages in the UK, we can accommodate a wide range of research interests in the languages, literatures and cultures of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and other parts of the wider Nordic region.
Join our community and choose one of two MScR pathways: either completing two research assignments and a 15,000 word dissertation; or writing a longer dissertation of 30,000 words. On each pathway you’ll be guided by an experienced and well-published supervisor.
