Sociology/Scottish History

Sociology studies the ways that people organise their lives together, the constraints within which they do so, the patterns of their social behaviour, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities.

One of the distinctive features of our Sociology programme, commended by external examiners and by our graduates, is the combination of sociological, criminological and anthropological perspectives which we provide.

Scottish History: The study of history is the study of change and continuity in human society through time. Scottish history is the study of Scotland’s past.

Scottish History at Glasgow boasts renowned researchers at the cutting edge of the discipline across all periods, from medieval to modern.

The Centre for Scottish & Celtic Studies at Glasgow addresses Scottish history in a genuinely crossdisciplinary environment and students are encouraged to get involved.
