DEGREE REGULATIONS & PROGRAMMES OF STUDY 2022/2023
- ARCHIVE as at 1 September 2022

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 50% or more at first attempt in the selected Scandinavian Studies language course AND an average mark of at least 50% at first attempt across 20 credits of selected courses from the Scandinavian Year 2 elective collection.
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 further revision of the second year offerings in Scandinavian Studies has been agreed and it is anticipated that this will take effect from academic year 2023/24.

During 3rd Year, when permitted, at least 30 weeks must be spent in a Scandinavian-speaking country and prescribed work completed in Celtic and the relevant language in an approved establishment. During sessions when this is not permitted students will be offered an alternative means of engagement.
