Our MA Primary Education with Gaelic (Fluent Speakers) prepares you to teach the full range of the pre-school and primary curriculum for children through the medium of Gaelic, as well as in English.



The Gaelic language is a vital part of Scotland’s heritage, national identity and cultural life. As an official language of Scotland, Gaelic influences and shapes Scottish literature, music, art, film and TV, festivals, of course, education.



Study with us, and you will be a part of a proud tradition of teacher education spanning nearly 200 years.



Our MA (Hons) in Primary Education with Gaelic (Fluent Speakers) has been developed to help meet the national shortage of Gaelic teachers and to enhance the professional capacity of future Gaelic-medium education teachers.



By the end of the 4-year programme, not only will you meet the need for Gaelic teachers in Scotland, ensuring your career viability, but also the sustainable future of Gaelic in Scotland.



Our degree is an innovative programme delivered jointly between Moray House School of Education and Sport (MHSES) and the School of Literatures, Languages, and Cultures (LLC).
