Lifelong Learning: Scottish Gaelic Credit Courses Students may be able to take Gaelic as an 'outside subject' in years one and two. This means that they can study Gaelic for credit - as an elective (optional) course - in the pre-honours years of their undergraduate degree, depending on their timetable. Typically, there are courses available for both complete beginners and students with prior experience; each is worth 40 credits. There is also a 20 credit introductory course to Gaelic Language and Culture.Outside subjects in literatures, languages and cultures Gaelic Taster and Awarness SessionsOccasionally, the Gaelic office at the University or Centre for Open Learning will run Gaelic taster sessions.
