Celtic Civilisation / History, MA (Hons)

Celtic Civilisation explores the rich history of the Celts, including the evolution of their societies, literature, material culture, art, and religion, from ancient origins on the European continent to contemporary expressions in the British Isles. Students can engage with medieval and modern cultures of Celtic-speaking peoples through cutting-edge research, as part of a joint degree programme that does not require learning a Celtic language.History examines the dynamics of change and continuity in human societies across time, employing diverse methodologies to interpret the present through political, economic, ideological, social, and cultural lenses. The programme features the Centre for Gender History, which collaborates with external organisations on women's and gender issues, and offers courses from the Scottish Centre for War Studies, providing expertise on conflicts from medieval eras to today.
