Celtic Studies / Central & East European Studies, MA (Hons)

Celtic Studies at the University of Glasgow enables students to combine language learning with courses on medieval and modern Celtic cultures of the British Isles. Central & East European Studies examines the region's tumultuous 20th-century history—from wars and revolutions to the collapse of communism—and ongoing challenges like populism, the Russo-Ukrainian war, and instability across the Baltic, Balkans, Caucasus, Central Asia, and Eurasia.Studying these programmes offers access to cutting-edge research, optional languages (Czech, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian), and facilities like the Centre for Russian, Central & East European Studies, the Europe-Asia Studies journal, and extensive libraries. For over 75 years, Glasgow has led theoretically informed, rigorous research on the region. Graduates pursue diverse careers in teaching, heritage, publishing, government (e.g., European Commission, FCDO), NGOs, journalism, and business, with high demand due to EU/NATO expansion and regional developments.
