DEGREE REGULATIONS & PROGRAMMES OF STUDY 2020/2021

Entry into Honours:
1. Students must pass courses to the required value of 240 credits in the first two years.
2. Students must achieve 50% or more at first attempt in all required second-year courses for their registered degree.
3. Students must achieve at least 50% overall in the relevant second-year language course(s), including at least 50% in the language component of that course.
4. All courses (including outside subjects) must be passed before embarking on the year abroad (an outside course passed at Resit in August will be acceptable).


Please note:
A revision of the second year offerings in Scandinavian Studies has been agreed and it is anticipated that this will take effect from academic year 2021/22.

During 3rd Year, when permitted, at least 15 weeks must be spent in a Scandinavian-speaking country and prescribed work completed in Scottish Ethnology and the relevant language in an approved establishment. During sessions when this is not permitted students will be offered an alternative means of engagement.
