YorkCourse in English
(BA and MA level)
The NSC’s YorkCourse in English provides a unique opportunity for Norwegian students and also qualified teachers of English to deepen and expand their expertise in the language, literature and culture of the English-speaking world, while living and studying in a British academic environment. 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 an Masters degree in Norway.
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.
