Course summary
The MPhil in Medieval Irish aims to give you the knowledge of language, literature, metrics and palaeography you need to edit and translate a medieval Irish text from the original manuscripts.
Students focus either on the Early Irish period (600–1200) or the Classical Modern Irish period (1200–1650). It is not possible to take a combination of Early Irish and Classical Modern Irish modules.
Modules in Classical Modern Irish are offered every year. Modules in Early Irish are offered in alternate years with the Diploma in Old Irish: MPhil modules in Early Irish will next be available in 2026/27.
