About
The Vikings conquer all in their path and nothing resists them.” So wrote a Frankish chronicler about the northern pirates whose collective name has come to represent the European ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries. This Viking studies program in Scandinavia explores the rich archaeological, cultural, and literary heritage of northern Europe in the early Middle Ages.
Itself founded during the Viking Age, the lovely Danish city of Århus and its modern university are our principal hosts. From this charming seaside location, we visit significant sites and collections throughout northern Europe, and participate in an archaeological dig connected with the Viking Age site on Samsø. Specialists in many different aspects of Viking culture lecture and guide classes.
The Viking studies program is ideal for those who:
- Are interested in heroic literature, Norse mythology, medieval history, and archaeology
- Are eager to explore the relationship between history and national myths
- Want to engage in archaeological field work
- Want to experience cultural life in Northern Europe.
