Why is this course for me? Te study of the Celts incorporates aspects of many of the subjects you have enjoyed up to now as a second level student, as well as intro- ducing you to new subjects and approaches. Celtic Civilisation will give you a comprehensive survey of the Celtic peoples so that you can trace and appreciate Celtic literary, intellectual and artistic achievements. Celtic Studies provides an opportunity to
study Early Irish, Medieval Welsh, Modern Welsh and Breton. If you are interested in inves- tigating Old Irish Myths and Legends in the lan- guage of their time, you can do so through Early Irish. Should you want to tackle a new language, you can study Welsh, the most widely spoken of the modern celtic languages. Tis will allow you to explore the literature, culture and history of the Welsh.
