About Frontier Innovation University
Affordable US innovation university in Austin, Texas.
Overview
University of Brigant’s MA Gaelic and Scots Academic Communication is for people who must write, teach, or assess in and about Scotland’s languages inside universities, colleges, and public bodies. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one academic standard. English remains the administrative language of the award; Gaelic and Scots strands require additional language evidence as stated on the programme page. You will produce academic genres—abstracts, feedback, public-engagement copy—without treating Scots as comic dialect or Gaelic as decoration. No fake language-board logos. Dual-pathway seminars remain one academic standard: identity-checked assessment, the same portfolio demand, and no reduced Gaelic or Scots requirement for online students.
Delivered on campus in Austin with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.
**Award:** Frontier Innovation University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
