History / Sociology (SocSci), MA (Hons)

The University of Glasgow provides comprehensive programmes in History and Sociology, focusing on key aspects of human society and behaviour. In History, students explore change and continuity across time, from medieval to modern eras and global contexts. The programme features small group teaching, diverse assessments such as policy papers and blogs, and personalised feedback. It leverages world-leading research in areas like gender history, war studies, slavery studies, and various national and global histories, supported by dedicated research centres.In Sociology, the discipline examines how individuals organise their lives, the constraints they face, patterns of social behaviour, and the roots of inequalities. Glasgow's programme uniquely integrates sociological, criminological, and anthropological perspectives, earning praise from external examiners and graduates for its innovative approach. This combination enhances understanding of social dynamics through rigorous academic inquiry.
