Scottish Ethnology and Scandinavian Studies MA

at University of Edinburgh

There has long been a strong Scandinavian influence on Scotland and the wider Celtic world. This innovative joint honours programme presents the opportunity to study the languages, literatures and cultures of neighbouring northern European nations which have taken differing routes to modernity, both socially and politically.

Ethnology is the discipline which studies the culture and traditions of developed societies. It is sometimes described as being at the intersection where history and anthropology meet.
