Overview

As the only university in North America offering four years of Scottish Gaelic, and one of the few universities offering the study of Celtic languages, literature and history of the Celts from about 800 BC to present, students will have a unique opportunity to learn in this broad field. Celtic Studies has as its core the languages, literatures, and histories of Celtic-speaking peoples, from the Continental Celts of ancient Gaul to the modern survivals in Scotland, Ireland, the island of Man, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany. It extends into a range of topics, including archaeology, art, music, literature, folklore, religion, dance, immigration and ethnic studies. Situated in the Highland Heart of Nova Scotia, students 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. They will learn from faculty who are leading researchers in the history, language and literature of Gaelic communities in North America and Scotland. St. Francis Xavier University's undergraduate and masters students produce research papers and dissertations, and creative projects, such as audio and video recordings. They have become leading lights in the revival and development of Gaelic in both Scotland and Canada. Career in Celtic Studies: As a Celtic Studies graduate, students will have many career choices, from education to entertainment and research. Many students go on to advanced studies in fields such as history, language, theology and library science.
