YorkCourse in English

(BA and MA level)

The NSC’s YorkCourse in English provides a unique opportunity for students studying at Norwegian Higher Education institutions and for qualified teachers of English who are either Norwegian nationals or who are working in Norway to live and study in a British academic environment. The aim is for all students to deepen and expand their expertise in the languages, literatures and cultures of the English-speaking world. The YorkCourse can be taken either at the 200-level which is suitable for undergraduates/BA students, or at the 300-level which is suitable for postgraduate students who are undertaking a Masters degree in Norway. Students on the new 5 year masters GLU or Lektor programmes are counted as undergraduate students when in their first cycle (years 1-3) and master’s students when in the second cycle (years 4-5). 

Students taking the 200-level course may opt for the Research Extension Module, which enables them to write their BA thesis (bacheloroppgave) whilst in York.
