Course Details

The interdisciplinary Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) course is concerned with the history, material culture, languages and literatures of the different peoples of Britain, Ireland and Scandinavia, mainly in the earlier Middle Ages. Students lay firm foundations in Part I (Years 1-2), and move on in Part II (Year 3) to pursue their particular interests at a more advanced level.
