Politics with Gaelic Studies

Study with us and explore the dynamic relationship between politics and Gaelic culture through this unique joint degree. This course lets you combine two subjects that match your interests and career ambitions, while engaging with a wide range of ideas and approaches central to the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Examine the key areas of political study, including political theory, international relations and comparative politics, alongside the rich history and contemporary life of the Gaelic world. Build a strong foundation in both subjects during your first two years, then specialise in topics that reflect staff expertise in your final years.

Develop your research and analytical skills year by year, and deepen your understanding of political systems, cultural identity and global issues. Enhance your learning with options to study related subjects such as literature, philosophy, history, archaeology and geography.

Choose from flexible study options and explore how politics and culture shape the world around you at local, national and international levels.

Please note this course is delivered entirely online and available to study from anywhere in the world. Applicants outwith Scotland including International, should apply to the UHI Perth study location.
