Scottish History is taken as a Single Honours degree, but shares a number of modules with the BA History.
Students take Scottish History plus two other subjects in semesters 1-3. In Semester 4 you will take the compulsory module HISU9X4, ‘Back to the Future: putting history and heritage to work’, a Scottish History module, and a module in another subject. The Scottish degree also involves a degree of study in non-Scottish topics. In Semesters 5 and 6 most of your studies will be in Scottish History. In Semesters 7 and 8 Honours students take a ‘special subject’ involving the use of printed documentary collections and other source material. Single Honours students also write a supervised dissertation of between 12,000 and 14,000 words on a chosen research topic. In the BA Scottish History your Special Subject and Dissertation will be on Scottish History topics.
