DISTANCE LEARNING
No matter where you are in the world, you can learn Gaelic online with us. Our distance learning courses are designed to take students to fluency in the language and to progress to further study, if desired.
If you have little or no previous knowledge of learning Gaelic, we would recommend you begin with our award-winning access to Gaelic course, An Cùrsa Inntrigidh. If you have some prior knowledge of Gaelic, or if you are an experienced learner, you might wish to join the accelerated version of An Cùrsa Inntrigidh, or enrol on An Cùrsa Adhartais, the next step towards fluency. Both of these courses place an emphasis on speaking and listening skills and are about giving you the confidence to use Gaelic in everyday situations.
Once you have completed An Cùrsa Adhartais, you may wish to undertake further study through the medium of Gaelic and progress to the second year of the College’s degree programme, where you can study modules on Gaelic poetry, folklore and the modern short story.
Our National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture also provides a professional development course for teachers through our MEd Gaelic Education course.
A unique feature of all of our courses is the support you will receive from tutors and staff as well as the opportunity to connect with other students and learners the world over.
MSc Material Culture and Gàidhealtachd History
This innovative, and widely-acclaimed course, MSc Material Culture and Gàidhealtachd History, gives you the opportunity to examine and to investigate Gaelic society and civilisation – entirely, and uniquely, through the language of the people themselves.
