Course summary

Explore Scottish Gaelic language and culture through the centuries to the present day, and develop your Gaelic language skills for the contemporary job market. Ionnsaich mu chultar na Gàidhlig tro na linntean, agus leasaich do sgilean cànain airson chothroman cosnaidh nas pailte. You can study Gaelic folklore, song, modern poetry, autobiography, contemporary fiction and drama all through Gaelic, while the University’s Gaelic initiative and the city’s vibrant Gaelic community also provide opportunities to use Gaelic outside the classroom. In your Honours years you will have the opportunity to spend one semester or two studying at Trinity College Dublin or at a choice of universities in North America and Australia.There are three distinct courses: Advanced 1 for students with a good pass in Higher Gàidhlig Intermediate 1 for those with a good pass in Higher Gaelic and Beginners 1 for absolute/near beginners. Each course develops appropriate language skills, and offers differentiated study of modern literary texts as well as an overview of Gaelic society and culture in Scotland from earliest times to the present. If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4), you will concentrate on modern Scottish Gaelic language and literature, as well as studying Irish and the development and varieties of the Gaelic languages. Most of your courses will be taught through the medium of Gaelic.Recent developments in support of Gaelic mean that the language offers expanding career opportunities. Our graduates have gone on to a wide range of careers in the media, publishing, the arts, teaching, academia, librarianship and law. Others find careers in the Civil Service, language planning/development with local authorities and Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
