1. You gain a thorough grounding in the native language of medieval Ireland and a deep understanding of its deservedly famous literature.
2. Irish language support: While teaching is through English (to accommodate students from different backgrounds), the use of Irish is actively supported, and the University’s bilingual campus is of special benefit to all students of Irish, of whatever period.
3. The programme provides an excellent foundation for MLitt and PhD higher research programmes.
