Overview
About the program
The Celtic and Anglo - Saxon Studies programme of the University of Aberdeen is the only one of its kind in Scotland. Focusing on the literature and culture of early and mediaeval Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England, as well as Normandy, Scandinavia and Iceland, we pursue interdisciplinary research in collaboration with neighbouring disciplines, especially Gaelic, Scandinavian Studies, History and English.
Our primary research specialisms include:
- Interactions between the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon worlds and Classical literature
- Gods, monsters and Otherworlds in mediaeval and modern literature
- Celtic and Germanic heroic tales
- New Testament apocrypha in the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon worlds
- Comparisons between Gaelic and Nordic literature and folklore
- Kingship in the Gaelic world
- Mediaeval understandings of history and fiction

Postgraduate degrees in Gaelic or Celtic & Anglo-Saxon Studies can lead to careers in University teaching and research, but they can also lead to careers in, for example, the civil service, tourism, heritage management and the media.
