This course will provide the opportunity for self-motivated students to pursue in-depth exploration of a specific topic in Celtic and/or Anglo-Saxon Studies. It gives students an opportunity for intensive engagement in a specific area within the research field of an individual staff member, and can be arranged as preparatory work towards a dissertation. The content of this course varies depending on the topic chosen, but the course focuses on enhancing the student's knowledge and research skills in the specified topic.
Students are asked to discuss their ideas with a possible supervisor in the first week of term. In Autumn 2023 Dr Aideen O'Leary will teach Old English language under this course title, based on her new multimedia edition (with Dr Zhangfeng Xu) of the Aberdeen course Learning Old English by Dr Duncan Macrae-Gibson, available from Aberdeen University Press.

This course will provide the opportunity for students to pursue in-depth exploration of a specific topic of interest in Celtic & Anglo-Saxon Studies, but which is not catered for in the academic session. The student will undertake intensive, supervised work on the topic in order to enhance his/her research, writing and/or language skills. The specific content of the course may vary, but the course focuses on enhancing the student's knowledge and research skills in the specified topic, and the completion of two research papers, or one paper and an examination. The course will provide students with an opportunity for intensive engagement in a specific area within the research field of an individual staff member. It can be arranged as preparatory work towards a dissertation, if the student requires intensive, supervised study in a specific area not covered by the available Honours courses. Students interested in pursuing such a course of study are expected to discuss their specific interest in advance, where possible, with the Programme Co-ordinator and a possible supervisor.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
