History

If you are interested in putting people and society at the centre of your studies of the past, then the BA (Hons) History degree is exactly what you are looking for. Throughout the course you will investigate the cultural, political, social and economic history of Britain, Europe and the Atlantic World, across a variety of chronologies from medieval to modern, with opportunities to specialise in Scottish History.

Each year, you will build on your analytical and research abilities through a series of skills modules.

In the first and second years, you will follow a broad approach to the study of history from the medieval to the modern period.

In years three and four, you will examine in-depth particular topics of history, allowing you to study specific places, periods, themes and approaches which reflect staff research specialisms, including public and community history. You can choose to specialise in Scottish History at the upper levels and graduate with a BA (Hons) Scottish History degree.
