Description

Gods and goddesses dominate the landscape of Norse mythology, and none more so than Odin and his Valkyries. This course delves into the lore surrounding these mythical beings, exploring their roles, characteristics, and impacts. Odin, the Allfather, leads the pantheon, while the Valkyries decide who lives and who dies in battle.

Yet, what would a Norse tale be without its heroes and tricksters? The course explores the incredible exploits of Thor and his endless battles against the giants, as well as Loki, whose trickster tales contribute some of the most entertaining and perplexing stories in Norse lore. And one can’t forget about Freyja, the most prominent goddess among the Vanir, who brings her own unique flavour to the mythology.

But that’s not all. No Norse Mythology Diploma would be complete without a study of the mythical creatures that populate these stories. From dragons to dwarfs, the course lays out the defining characteristics and stories of these fascinating beings.

And let’s not forget the ultimate end: Ragnarok. This apocalyptic event serves as the climax in the narrative of Norse mythology, and the course provides an in-depth look at the signs, battles, and aftermath of this cosmic end.

Wrapping up the course, the Influence and Legacy module draws a line connecting ancient beliefs to modern pop culture, literature, and religion. This helps learners appreciate the lasting impact of Norse myths on the world today.

The Norse Mythology Diploma offers a flexible learning experience that accommodates all schedules. With round-the-clock access to course material, students can study at their own pace. Rich multimedia content, quizzes, and expert-led modules make this an interactive and engaging way to dive into the topic.

At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
