Gaelic Plan 2025-2030

Our Gaelic Plans sets out the University’s principles and commitments for Gaelic for 2025-2030.

As a global University firmly rooted in our unique civic history, we recognise the responsibilities we have towards Gaelic, one of the native living languages of Scotland. 

This plan will be delivered over the period 2025-2030 and, as a University wide plan, it will require the whole organisation to live up to these commitments. 

The Gaelic Plan Working Group (GPWG) will have overall responsibility for the implementation of this plan and will provide support and oversight to the Gaelic Officer, who will be responsible for day-to-day implementation.

As an international organisation with a uniquely civic history, we recognise the responsibilities we have to promoting the use, learning, and visibility of Gaelic, one of Scotland’s native living languages, locally, nationally, and globally.


Five principles that will embed Gaelic across University practice. 


We will continue to deliver, promote, and expand our opportunities for lifelong learning of Gaelic language and culture and support teaching at the University.


We will promote, protect, and make accessible our internationally significant Gaelic collections and encourage and support Gaelic research at the University.

Our commitments to Research and Collections. 


We will encourage and cultivate a supportive and active community of Gaelic-speakers at the University and within our local area. 


We will take a cross-University approach to enhance the visibility, use, and profile of Gaelic across our campuses. 


We will continue to seek opportunities for partnership working and promote the University as a centre for Gaelic use, teaching, and research.


This Gaelic Plan will be delivered over the period 2025-2030 and, as a University-wide plan, it will require the whole institution to live up to these commitments. 


Students, staff and members of our local community share their experiences of Gaelic at the University.
