Location of The University of Edinburgh
The aim of the programme is to promote and facilitate advanced interdisciplinary study of the Gaidhealtachd past and present, its literature, its language and its culture, through providing a grounding in essential research skills and linguistic training.
A secondary but very important aim is to cultivate a culture of collaborative teaching and research between academic and research staff (and postgraduates) across Schools.
Learning Outcomes
Graduates will have developed:
* an understanding of Scottish Gaelic (or an appropriate alternative language) at an elementary, intermediate or advanced level (depending on prior exposure);
* an understanding of current directions within Gaidhealtachd studies;
* research skills essential to their particular field of interest within Gaidhealtachd studies;
* the beginnings of specialist expertise in at least one field of study.
Contents
Languages are taught in manageable mixed classes of undergraduates and postgraduates of broadly similar linguistic competence (eg elementary Gaelic), including spoken, written and conversational elements. Skills and specialisms are taught in small seminars. Some courses are taught by a team of experts; others are taught by a single expert.
