Fold Guide Fold Guide 2 Welcome “Choosing a university is a very important decision. When I made the decision to join Aberdeen as Principal I did so because I was inspired by the story of a university that for over five centuries had made an impact on the world and which had enabled people to fulfil their academic potential. There is an atmosphere here where a shared sense of pride in the University’s past achievements sits at one with an ambition to make the next chapter in its history an even more successful one. That makes Aberdeen an exciting and very special university to be part of. It’s why I chose Aberdeen.

    GAELI C LANGUAGE PLAN 201 3-2018 www.abdn.ac.uk/gaelicplan UniPrint University of Aberdeen 1 GAELIC LANGUAGE PLAN 2013-2018 This Plan has been prepared under Section 3 of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, and was approved by Bòrd na Gàidhlig on 5 March 2013. 2 FOREWORD As Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Aberdeen, I am delighted to provide the introduction to our first Gaelic Language Plan. The University of Aberdeen is committed to the aspirations and objectives included in the National Gaelic Language Plan and the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. Our Strategic Plan (2011-2015) spells out the University of Aberdeen’s ambition as both an international institution but also as an organisation embedded at the heart of its local community. To that end, we recognise that we have a considerable role to play through our academic leadership and civic influence in supporting the objectives set out in the National Gaelic Language Plan. The University of Aberdeen is one of five Universities in Scotland invited to compile a Gaelic Language Plan, reflecting our existing involvement in Gaelic language teaching. Our programmes include undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Gaelic, while in recent years we have pioneered a major new curriculum that gives all students the opportunity to undertake Sustained Study beyond their core discipline. This programme ensures that students enrol in courses which are not directly related to their core programme over the first two years of a degree, and Gaelic is one of the linguistic options available. We are also delighted to be one of only two universities in Scotland to offer primary and secondary teacher education provision in Gaelic through our Bachelor of Education (Honours) programme.
