The Department of Celtic and Gaelic developed and pioneered the National Gaelic Language Summer School for Gaelic, which gives students an opportunity to take part in a bespoke residential course to improve their fluency in the language. Now, students of other universities also take part in the Summer School, which gives our students the chance to meet their peers and make useful contacts.
The National Gaelic Language Summer School 2012 will take place from 20th August until 7th September and will be based at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (SMO) on the Isle of Skye. This opportunity is for students studying Gaelic on Higher Education level courses and in particular to those progressing from 2nd to 3rd year of an undergraduate degree or from 3rd to 4th year. Postgraduates are also welcome. It is funded by the Scottish Funding Council.
