Economic & Social History / Sociology (SocSci), MA (Hons)

Economic and Social History examines how societies evolve in their economic activities and social organization, focusing on past ways of living and working and their impact on the modern world. Sociology explores how people organize their lives, the constraints they face, patterns of social behavior, and the causes and consequences of inequalities.Studying this course at the University of Glasgow allows engagement with expert faculty, a community of changemakers, and interdisciplinary connections (including languages and study abroad).
