You will also have the opportunity to study medieval Welsh and Latin, and to take advanced courses in literary studies, palaeography, and textual editing. Provision has been made for supervised independent research to allow you to broaden and deepen your scholarly interests, while a 20,000-word thesis gives scope to postgraduates to complete a significant piece of work in a specific area of interest. <br>The MA in Early and Medieval Irish offers great training in the language, literature, and culture of medieval Ireland, providing opportunities for postgraduates to study the medieval Irish language in-depth, as well as receiving training in Latin and medieval Welsh.
