Sociology / History, MA (Hons)

Sociology examines how people organize their lives collectively, the constraints they face, patterns in social behavior, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities. A distinctive feature of our programme—praised by external examiners and graduates—is its integration of sociological, criminological, and anthropological perspectives.History explores change and continuity in human society over time. At Glasgow, our wide-ranging programme spans medieval to modern eras, drawing on world-leading research in Scottish, British, European, U.S., and global history; slavery studies; gender history; and war, intelligence, and genocide studies. We offer diverse courses worldwide, small-group teaching, varied assessments (including policy papers and blogs), and one-to-one feedback, while hosting leading centres in gender history, war studies, slavery studies, American studies, and Scottish and Celtic studies.
