MRes Gaelic and Celtic Studies

This research master's degree offers a professional foundation in Gaelic and Celtic Studies. It builds research techniques and scholarly writing in Gaelic, with specialist preparation for each student's chosen area of study. Learners work with extensive library holdings, including early printed Gaelic volumes and manuscript collections that touch on folklore, material culture and Highland history. Teaching is delivered at the college or from elsewhere, with regular visits to take part in research activities. Students are encouraged to get in touch with potential supervisors before developing their application, so they can discuss their project early. A full-time route takes one year, while the part-time route takes two. Applicants first put forward a CV plus a short outline of their chosen research topic, and once it is accepted, they apply formally through the university's graduate school with support from a lead supervisor.
