Roinn na Ceiltis is na Gàidhlig | Celtic and Gaelic
Oilthigh Ghlaschu | University of Glasgow

[Bilingual details: Gaelic & English]

B’ e àrd-òraidiche ann am Fraingis, a tha a-nis air a dhreuchd a leigeil dheth, aig Oilthigh Ghlaschu a bha anns an Dr. Peter Davies. Ann an 2016, stèidhich an Dr Davies ciad Sgoilearachd Iar-Cheumnach an Dr Peter Davies ann an Sgoil nan Nuadh-chananan agus nan Cultaran (SMLC) – a’ toirt £5,000 an urra airson dithis oileanach sgoilearachdan gach bliadhna, far a bheil aonan dhiubh sin a’ sgrùdadh ann am Fraingis.

Bho 2020/21, tha Dr Davies air a leigeil fhaicinn gum bu chaomh leis gum biodh na Sgoilearachdan air an leudachadh gus £5000 an urra a thoirt do cheathrar oileanach gach bliadhna. Thathar a’ moladh gum bi trì dhe na sgoilearachdan sin air an tabhann do dh’oileanaich Maighstireachd le Rannsachadh ann an SMLC agus aonan do dh’aon oileanach ann an Roinn na Ceiltis is na Gàidhlig.

Dr Peter Davies is a retired Senior Lecturer in French at the University of Glasgow. In 2016 Dr Davies established the inaugural Dr Peter Davies Postgraduate Scholarship in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures (SMLC) – awarding £5,000 each to two scholarship recipients annually, where one is studying French.

From 2020/21 Dr Davies has suggested he would like the Scholarships to be extended to award £5,000 each to four students per annum. It is proposed that three of these scholarships will be awarded to Masters by Research students from the SMLC and one from the subject Celtic & Gaelic.
