What can I study alongside Celtic & Gaelic?

In the first two years, your compulsory studies in Celtic or Gaelic will take up only some of your study, and you choose other subjects to study alongside.  So, it is important that you consider the broad range of subjects you might like to take before you arrive (see the Catalogue of Courses). At Aberdeen, all our Celtic and Gaelic degree areas are offered as Joint-Degree programmes, so you can choose from Year 1 to have two main areas of study. The following information will help you identify what other subjects you can study with Celtic and Gaelic to honours level.
