Course programme
In the first two years you will take courses from the Celtic Civilisation and/or Gaelic programmes.
Years 3 and 4If you successfully complete the courses in first and second years, you may move on to Honours Celtic Studies, where you will study various aspects of Celtic societies in their historical and cultural contexts.
You will study at least one language:
- Early Gaelic
- Medieval Welsh
- Modern Scottish Gaelic
- Modern Irish
If you studied Celtic Civilisation in the first two years you may begin to study Scottish Gaelic; or you may wish to combine studying medieval Celtic history with learning one of the medieval Celtic languages.
You are also able to choose from a range of courses on specific aspects of Celtic culture and literature. Areas you might wish to focus on at this level include:
- belief and culture in early medieval Ireland and Gaelic Scotland
- language policy and planning in Scotland
- Gaelic folklore
- early Gaelic literature
- medieval Welsh literature
- Celtic art
Honours students on this programme also 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.
Our international linksThere are opportunities open to you to study in an institution outside the UK. The University has active study abroad relationships with universities such as the National University of Ireland, Galway.
