* Students who have not taken Gaelic language to Year 2 must select their Celtic Honours courses from the list of medieval options.  Detailed information regarding course choices and availability is provided in course handbooks.
† If the dissertation is taken in Celtic, a 20-credit unit towards the dissertation will be taken in third year, and a 20-credit completion unit in fourth year.  Students opting for a Celtic dissertation will therefore be required to take a 20-credit unit towards their dissertation in third year together with option courses in Celtic totalling 40 credits, followed by a 20-credit completion unit in fourth year together with honours options in Celtic totalling 60 credits.
‡ Students intending to take the fourth year option Archaeological Fieldwork are required to undertake 10 weeks approved practical archaeological work in the vacations between the end of their second year of study and the beginning of their fourth year of study.
‡‡ Entry to third year normally requires successful completion of the first two years of the curriculum with an average mark for Archaeology 2A and Archaeology 2B combined of 50% or higher, and a pass at 55% or above in either Gaelic 2A or Gaelic 2B (for Modern honours route) or in Celtic Literature 2A and Celtic Literature 2B (for Medieval honours route).
