Celtic & Anglo-Saxon Studies at Aberdeen is a new and innovative programme, offering thorough, interdisciplinary study of the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Scandinavian peoples. The programme traverses the traditional boundaries of literature, history, and culture. It includes several language options and courses on aspects of Celtic literature in the modern world. (By teaching the languages, literatures and cultures of the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon worlds, this programme replaces the previous Celtic Studies and Celtic Civilisation programmes.)

Graduates gain essential skills, which include critical thinking, oral and written communication, task management, and organised and disciplined working practices. These skills are among the Graduate Attributes which students are encouraged to develop during their time at the University, and are crucial in a wide range of professional careers. Our graduates work in a wide variety of areas in the arts and elsewhere, including heritage management, teaching, research, librarianship, enterprise and broadcasting.
