Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic

About this course

Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic is one of the most unusual and intellectually rich undergraduate degrees available anywhere. It focuses on the medieval cultures of the British Isles and Scandinavia, examining the languages, literatures, histories, and material cultures of peoples who shaped the world we inhabit: the Anglo-Saxons who gave England its name and language, the Norse seafarers who reached from Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland, and North America, and the Celtic-speaking communities of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany. These are cultures that left extraordinary bodies of writing in Old English, Old Norse, Old Irish, Old Welsh, and Latin, and studying them means learning to read and interpret that writing in its original languages. At the University of Cambridge, this three-year full-time programme is taught by leading scholars in these fields, giving you access
