* 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.
‡ Entry to third year normally requires a pass at 50% or above in Scottish Ethnology 2 and a pass at 50% or above in Gaelic 2A or Gaelic 2B (for modern Honours route) or Celtic Literature 2A and Celtic Literature 2B (for medieval honours route).
