Fáilte go Scoil Léann na Gaeilge

Trí Roinn atá i Scoil Léann na Gaeilge: Roinn na Nua-Ghaeilge, Roinn na Sean- agus na Meán-Ghaeilge, agus Roinn an Bhéaloidis. Léiriú ar a thabhachtaí is atá teanga agus litríocht na Gaeilge, agus Léann na Gaeilge féin, san Ollscoil agus sa tír trí chéile, is ea an cumar seo na dtrí Roinn. Tá gach aon Roinn acu chun tosaigh ina saindisciplín féin ó thaobh taighde, teagaisc, agus scoláiriúlachta de, agus cuireann siad bonn torthúil faoi phobal Scoil Léann na Gaeilge, pobal a bhfuil teist idirnáisiúnta air.

The School of Irish Learning consists of three Departments: the Department of Modern Irish, the Department of Early and Medieval Irish, and the Department of Irish Folklore and Ethnography. This combination of academic departments is reflective of the importance of Irish Studies and of Irish language and literature within UCC and in Irish life in general.  Each Department is at the forefront of third-level research, teaching and scholarship in its particular discipline, and each contributes to the cross-disciplinary community of the School of Irish Learning, which enjoys an international reputation. You can find out more about the Departments of Early and Medieval Irish, Folklore and Ethnology, and Modern Irish by visiting their respective departmental websites.
