Centre for Scandinavian Studies

Welcome to the website of the Centre for Scandinavian Studies at the University of Aberdeen. The Centre specialises in the literature, history, language and culture of Viking Age and Medieval Scandinavia (including Iceland and other parts of the 'viking world'). Our experts include Hannah Burrows, Ralph O'Connor, David Dumville and Frederik Pedersen. Aberdeen is one of very few places in the UK to have a specialist Centre for early Scandinavian Studies.

The purpose of the Centre is to bring together researchers to coordinate research projects, provide PhD supervision, and facilitate a postgraduate research community, teach postgraduate programmes and relevant undergraduate courses and to promote Scandinavian Studies generally, in particular through our public seminar series and outreach events.
