Program details

Overview

This honours degree examines Gaelic society and its origins while building a high standard of fluency. Students gain knowledge and critical awareness of the language, literature and culture, and they can draw on related subjects from sister programmes within the scheme. The fourth year offers an exchange with an Irish or Canadian university, which places Gaelic Scotland within a wider international frame. Study can be arranged on campus, through distance learning, or part-time, giving students flexible ways to finish the degree. Graduates are prepared for the new employment opportunities emerging across the Gaelic world, and the qualification also opens routes into postgraduate study and research. Skills in speaking, writing and critical reading suit a range of Gaelic-focused careers, and students who wish to specialise can continue to a research degree in the same field.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Three SQA Highers at BBC or above, preferably including Gaelic (Learners) at B or above, or equivalent qualifications at the Programme Leader's discretion.
