Overview
Why study Celtic Studies at StFX?
Situated in the Highland Heart of Nova Scotia, you will study in a department where the working language is Scottish Gaelic, and where a wide variety of courses are offered in Celtic civilization and in the Gaelic folklore of Ireland and Scotland.

Celtic Studies from St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) introduces you to a broad field that has as its core the languages, literatures, and histories of Celtic-speaking peoples, from the ancient Continental Celts--including the Gauls of France, the Celtiberians of Spain and Portugal, the Lepontic people of Northern Italy, and the Galatians of Turkey--to the modern survivals in Scotland (and Nova Scotia), Ireland, the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany.
