    Ranked 2nd in Scotland for History (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2024); Ranked Top 10 in the UK for Law (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2024).

    Please note: studying law within the BA degree will not qualify you for entry to the legal profession. For professional qualifications in Law, students should follow the LLB programme.

    This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

    The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.

    You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.

    Every one of our flexible BA options gives students the chance to gain valuable professional experience as part of a credit-bearing work placement class in their third or fourth year. Learn more about placements- https://www.strath.ac.uk/humanities/undergraduate/placements/
