Literature with Gaelic Studies Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Follow your passion for literature and culture with a degree that invites you to explore both the global literary landscape and the rich heritage of the Gaelic world. The BA (Hons) Literature with Gaelic Studies encourages you to combine your interests in language, culture, and critical thinking, building a degree that reflects your personal goals and ambitions. Through a wide range of modules, delve into major themes, ideas, and movements in literature while deepening your understanding of Gaelic language, history, and identity.

In your first and second years, take a broad and engaging approach to both disciplines, laying a strong foundation in literary and cultural studies.
