High quality education in a supportive, encouraging environment
YorkCourse in English
(BA and MA level)
The NSC’s YorkCourse in English studies is available to students at Norwegian Higher Education institutions, as well as to qualified teachers of English who are either Norwegian nationals or who are working in Norway. It provides a unique opportunity for students to deepen and expand their expertise in the languages, literatures and cultures of the English-speaking world while living in the UK.
The YorkCourse can be taken either at the undergraduate/BA level (2nd or 3rd year), or at the postgraduate/MA level (as part of a master’s degree in Norway). Students on the 5-year GLU or Lektor master’s programmes in Norway are counted as undergraduate students when in their first cycle (years 1-3) and as master’s students when in the second cycle (years 4-5).
Students may opt for the Research Extension Module, which enables them to write their a thesis-length piece of work while in York that can be counted as a thesis for their home degree programme, subject to approval from their institution in Norway.
