† 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.
‡ A booklet giving details as well as restrictions on choice of courses will be available on line in the subject area to facilitate advance planning.
