History / Theology & Religious Studies, MA (Hons)

The study of history examines changes and continuities in human societies over time. Glasgow University offers a comprehensive program spanning medieval to modern eras and global perspectives, with small group teaching, diverse assessments such as policy papers and blogs, and personalized feedback tutorials. We host leading research centers in gender history, war studies, slavery studies, American studies, and Scottish and Celtic studies, informed by world-class expertise in Scottish, British, European, U.S., and global history, as well as slavery, gender, war, intelligence, and genocide studies.Theology and Religious Studies explore religion, faiths, the Bible, and theology in relation to politics, history, literature, philosophy, art, culture, personal beliefs, and practices. We investigate how religion influences political and cultural life, delving into its role in humanity's textual, cultural, artistic, and philosophical heritage, and its impact on politics, conflicts, and social attitudes. The program can be tailored to introduce various religions or focus on the Christian tradition.
