Immerse yourself in York at the Norwegian Study Centre!

Tag på efteruddannelse i England. Nu har du muligheden for at være en del af vores nyeste kursustiltag, som er et fem-dages ophold i York i samarbejde med the Norwegian Study Centre under the University of York.

Under opholdet vil du sammen med gode norske – og måske danske - kolleger følge en række kursusmoduler i britisk litteratur, sprog og kultur, som er tilpasset de skandinaviske læreplaner i engelsk. De norske kolleger kan være gymnasielærere eller lærerstuderende. Hvis man gerne vil være sikker på at komme afsted en uge, hvor der er flere danske kolleger, så arbejder vi på at udbyde uge 42, 2026 som en dedikeret dansk Engelsklærerforeningsuge. Man kan også altid skrive til NSC og høre, om der er andre tilmeldte en given uge.

Undervisningssproget er naturligvis engelsk, og efter undervisningen vil der typisk være mulighed for skolebesøg, teatertur eller en byvandring.
Du tilmelder dig en kursusuge ved at skrive til Norwegian Study Centre på nsc@york.ac.uk

I skoleåret 2025-26 koster selve undervisningen £250, som afregnes direkte med NSC.
Herudover skal du selv sørge for udgifter og praktik omkring at arrangere transport og indkvartering. Husk også at man nu skal have ETA-visum til Storbritannien. Mad er også for egen regning.

Hvis man gerne vil afsted som faggruppe eller netværk, så udbyder NSC meget gerne andre rejseuger, hvis blot man kan stille mindst 5 deltagere.

Mulige rejseuger i skoleåret 2025-26:

Efterår 2025: uge 41 og 45

Forår 2026: uge 5, 9 og 11

Øvrige ønsker kan i vid udstrækning opfyldes, hvis man kan stille mindst 5 deltagere.

Tilmeldingsfrister:
Senest fire uger før den ønskede rejseuge. Tilmelding sker til Norwegian Study Centre på nsc@york.ac.uk

The Norwegian Study Centre

About Us

The Norwegian Study Centre is part of the University of York, established and funded by the Norwegian government. Since the early 1980s, it has offered students and teachers high quality courses and an opportunity for immersion in the languages, contemporary literatures, and cultures of Britain.

Our Interactive Seminars

All NSC modules have been designed to provide a British perspective on the values and principles, aims and objectives of English subject curricula throughout Scandinavia to encourage comparison, critical thought and engagement.

Our seminars feature:

• Key themes in English education, such as: Democracy and Citizenship, Sustainability, and Health and Life Skills
• Creative ideas for promoting language learning in the classroom
• Explorations into local cultures and patterns of communication
• Diverse authentic English-language texts to develop intercultural understanding
• Unique topics in language, 21st century literatures, current affairs and culture
• Opportunities to communicate in English and gain a better understanding of dialects in Northern England and Scotland

York as your classroom

Seminars typically run from 9 am - 2 pm with time in the afternoon for exploring York. All programmes include at least one cultural enhancement activity, such as:

Theatre experience: A favourite! York is well served by theatres and frequent touring productions from London. Performances are introduced by our experienced staff to provide context and to foster engagement with the arts.

School visit: Highly recommended! Spend a morning or afternoon observing the English Education system with a visit to a local Primary or Secondary school.

Guided tours: Deepen your understanding of York’s history and modern identity as a capital of the north with guided tours of the city, including Roman and Viking ruins. The tour also includes a walk on a portion of the city’s Roman walls and a visit to the Shambles where groups will see the street that inspired Harry Potter’s “Diagon Alley”!

York Minster: Visit Europe’s largest gothic cathedral North of the Alps and learn about its 800-year history from knowledgeable and engaging guides.

Plus! Daily activities that send you out into York for real-life application of your learning at bookstores, museums, pubs and more!
