Programme Description
This two-year course is intended to take the student to a high level of competence in Old Irish, and will cover a wide range of prose and verse texts, and various aspects of Early Irish language, literature and culture.
The M.Phil. course builds on the material presented in the Postgraduate Diploma in Old Irish.
Applicants will therefore normally have successfully completed the latter course, though persons with equivalent competence in Old Irish but who have not successfully completed the diploma are also eligible to apply. All candidates undertake core courses in Old Irish prose and Old Irish poetry. They must also choose an optional course from comparative linguistics, early Irish law or Middle Irish.
The course will last for two academic years, beginning in October, and requires full-time study. The first year course will be that for the Diploma in Old Irish. In the second year candidates will be assessed by examination (in summer) and a thesis of c.20,000 words. .
