Master of Arts in Celtic and French

Program Overview

The relationship between Scotland and France, two nations with Celtic roots, stretches back many centuries.

This joint honours programme gives you the opportunity to study the languages, literatures and cultures of the Celtic and French-speaking worlds, which today extend to countries in Europe, Africa and the Americas.

Study with us and you will gain advanced language skills while learning about extraordinarily rich cultures, from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. You will spend Year 3 either studying or working in France.

Our courses explore contemporary issues such as language policy and revitalisation, colonisation and decolonisation.

Celtic

At all levels of study on this four-year, joint honours programme, we offer courses in the languages, literatures, histories, and cultures of the Celtic world. You have the option to study Scottish Gaelic and build up to advanced competency in the language.

A choice of pathways through the programme enables you to develop your own interests in particular areas, periods and disciplines of Celtic studies.

Our expertise covers:

Scottish Gaelic from the late Middle Ages to the present, including language policy and revitalisation
The medieval literary tradition in Early Irish and Medieval Welsh - the most extensive in the whole of Europe
The rich oral tradition recorded from the 18th century to the present day
Poetry from the 18th century golden age of Gaelic literature
19th and 20th century responses to the rapid social, cultural, and linguistic changes in countries where the Celtic languages are spoken
The writing, song, and media production emerging from the lively and varied contemporary cultural scene in Gaelic Scotland, Ireland, and Wales
