Overview

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. You’ll learn from faculty who are leading researchers in the history, language and literature of Gaelic communities in North America 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.
