Staff are engaged in research in a variety of areas including medieval and modern literature, language and linguistics, dialectology, onomastics, and lexicography. Celtic Studies at the University of Ulster has performed excellently in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, confirming its 5* gold medal status and placing it at the very top end of both Celtic Studies and language and linguistics departments in the UK. All of the work of the department was assessed as being of international standard, with very substantial evidence of world-leading quality. Ulster was one of only three institutions in Celtic Studies with excellence of this magnitude, and was also joint third out of a total of 249 submissions in languages and linguistics, all of which applied similar marking criteria.
