Content

This flexible course gives you the opportunity to combine Geography with Gaelic Studies, allowing you to explore how people, places and environments interact, alongside the history and contemporary relevance of the Gaelic language and culture.

In your first two years, you will gain a broad foundation in both subjects. In your third and fourth years, you will specialise in areas that match your interests and reflect staff research expertise. The course places strong emphasis on both empirical and theoretical approaches, helping you develop critical thinking, research and analytical skills in each year.

You can also choose to study other Humanities subjects such as philosophy, history, literature, archaeology and politics. Designed with flexibility in mind, the course supports full-time or part-time study from anywhere in the world. It is well-suited to those interested in interdisciplinary learning, cultural heritage, and environmental understanding, and provides high levels of employability in a range of sectors.
