Celtic Studies

Programme Structure

There are four key components to the programme. The Core Courses involve all the students on the programme, and will expose students to a variety of approaches to researching medieval Celtic studies, and to major themes and debates in Celtic Studies. The Languages component allows students to study one of the medieval Celtic languages, usually Early Gaelic (Old and Middle Irish) or Middle Welsh, at an appropriate level. The Specialist Options allow students to explore and deepen their knowledge of the particular area they would like to research further, which can include further language study. The Specialist Options usually form a preparation for the Dissertation, a single piece of original written research.
