What will I learn?
The Runes & Symbolism Course offers a compact, practice-oriented introduction to runic alphabets, dating methods, and inscription materials, then moves into epigraphic skills for transcription, transliteration, and translation. You will work with primary sources, museum catalogues, and digital tools, design clear exhibition texts, and compare runes with neighbouring symbol systems to address ethics, ideology, and cultural contact with confidence.
