SummaryDuring their third year abroad while studying for the combined degree of Celtic and French/German/Scandinavian Studies, students carry out guided reading under the supervision of a member of the Celtic section of Celtic and Scottish Studies and write two essays on a previously agreed topic related to the focus of the Celtic part of their degree. Supervisors and students have contact via email and telephone to discuss the various stages of the essays.

Students whose exchange programme takes them to a university offering Celtic courses can instead take such courses there, provided they have obtained the permission of the Head of Celtic.
