Students are required to undertake six modules at level 2 of the DipHE Gaelic and Related Studies, made up of compulsory modules (i.e. those which are part of the scheme requirements and are common across the degree programmes), and also modules which are specific to each programme. One of the six modules is an optional module, i.e. a module which can be chosen from within your chosen degree programme or from another degree programme in the Gaelic and Related Studies scheme or, with the Programme Leader’s permission, a module from another degree within UHI, as long as the module can be delivered by distance learning. (Please note that modules from other degree programmes outwith the Gaelic and Related Studies scheme will be delivered in English). To gain a Diploma of Higher Education students must successfully complete the two modules in the scheme requirements, three modules from either the Gaelic Language and Culture programme or the Gaelic and Development programme and one optional module. Learning materials for these distance learning modules are available on Brightspace, UHI’s virtual learning environment. Students will be given access to Brightspace after registration. Usually there are two online classes per week for each module. Students will receive a list of classes, assessments and learning materials at the start of each semester.
