Celtic Studies

The Celtic Section at Uppsala University is part of the Department of English. It offers the most comprehensive choice of Celtic Studies courses in Scandinavia. All our courses are taught through English.

We are now focusing on both languages and literature from Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

A-Level Courses

The A-level courses offer introductions to Modern Irish, Modern Welsh, Medieval Celtic Literature, The History and Culture of the Celts, and an Introduction to Celtic Linguistics. These courses can be taken as 30-point study programmes or, in most cases, as 7.5 point Free Electives.

The courses Introduction to Medieval Celtic Literature and The History and Culture of the Celts are now available as online-courses.

B-Level Courses

After the introductions to various fields in Celtic, students can go on to study Old Irish, Modern Irish and Welsh, or take courses on Medieval Celtic Literature, such as Medieval Celtic Kings and Heroes or Medieval Irish Epic Literature. Most of these courses are available as Free Electives or as part of the full 30 point-programme.

C-Level Courses

After the completion of courses at the A and B-level, courses in Irish and Welsh literature are offered, as well as options in English Linguistics or in Modern Anglo-Irish Literature.You might also like to take part in exchange programmes with Irish or Welsh universities.
