Course summary

Celtic Studies provides the opportunity to combine language study with a range of courses on the medieval and modern Celtic cultures of the British Isles. You will have the opportunity to study the medieval and modern cultures of Celtic-speaking peoples with scholars at the cutting edge of research, and learn a Celtic language of the British Isles.The University has active study abroad relationships with Trinity College Dublin and universities in North America and Australia offering Celtic courses. Recent graduates have entered a range of careers including primary and secondary teaching work with museums and government heritage bodies publishing and book marketing music entrepreneurship. Others have gone on to further study and to pursue successfully a career in research and academic work.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 can also choose from a range of courses on specific aspects of Celtic culture and literature, such as belief and culture in early medieval Ireland and Gaelic Scotland, language policy and planning in Scotland, Gaelic folklore, early Gaelic literature, medieval Welsh literature, and Celtic art. Honours students on this programme also have access to a series of 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.
