Overview

The University of Edinburgh has been a longstanding influence from Scandinavia on the Celtic world. This joint honors program provides students with the opportunity to delve into the languages, literatures, histories, and cultures of both the Celtic and Scandinavian countries. In the Celtic aspect of the program, the focus is on the medieval literary tradition in Early Irish and Medieval Welsh, which is considered the most extensive in all of Europe. Additionally, Scottish Gaelic from the late Middle Ages to the present is explored, along with the rich oral tradition recorded from the 18th century onwards and poetry from the 18th century golden age of Gaelic literature. Students will also examine the responses from the 19th and 20th centuries to the rapid social, cultural, and linguistic changes in regions where the Celtic languages are spoken. Furthermore, they will study the writing, song, and media production emerging from the vibrant and diverse contemporary cultural scene in Gaelic Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Throughout the program, courses are offered in language, literature, history, and culture at all levels of study. This allows students to tailor their program to their own interests in specific areas, time periods, and disciplines of Celtic studies. The faculty's expertise extends to theoretical and practical issues in current sociolinguistics, language policy, and language revitalization.
