  • Glasgow is a wonderful place to study and explore, I simply love my time here. The university itself worked a lot and at the same time care for their students which makes it worthwhile. They have people from different cultures and it makes this place like a melting pot of all cultures. I had a nice learning experience overall. Thanks for the same.

Course programme

Year 1

You will explore the history, culture and religious beliefs of the ancient Celts who, at their maximum extent, occupied much of Western and Central Europe, from Britain and Ireland in the west, to Asia Minor in the east. You will also examine the society, art and literature of the early Christian Celts of Britain and Ireland.

Year 2

You will study the most important aspects of the histories, institutions, cultures and literatures of Scottish Gaelic, Irish and Welsh societies.

  • Celtic societies, 1066-1603 is concerned with the period of conquest and cultural change in the Middle Ages.
  • Celtic societies and the modern world traces the relationship between Celtic languages and countries and the British state from 1750 to the present day.

You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Degrees in Arts, Life Sciences, Science and Social Sciences.

Years 3 and 4

If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4) you will have the opportunity to deepen your understanding of specific aspects of Celtic history, literatures and cultures.

Areas you might wish to focus on at this level include belief and culture in early medieval Ireland and Gaelic Scotland; Celtic place-names of Scotland; early Gaelic literature; Celtic art; medieval Welsh literature; or Gaelic folklore.

You will have access to a series of cross-listed courses on Celtic history and culture on topics such as medieval Ireland, the Northern Britons and the Picts.

You will also write a dissertation, allowing you to research a relevant topic of your own choosing and to develop a capacity to work independently.
