Course summary

If you are interested in studying various periods of the past, then the BA (Hons) History degree is exactly what you are looking for. Throughout the course you will investigate the cultural, political, social and economic history of Britain, Europe and the Atlantic World, with opportunities to specialise in Scottish History. Each year, you will build on your analytical and research abilities through a series of skills modules. In the first and second years, you will follow a broad approach to the study of history from the medieval to the modern period. In years three and four, you will examine in-depth particular topics of history, allowing you to study specific places, periods and themes which reflect staff research specialisms. You can choose to specialise in Scottish History at the upper levels and graduate with a BA (Hons) Scottish History degree.


Please note that UHI North Highland, UHI Outer Hebrides and UHI West Highland have changed their names to become UHI North, West and Hebrides. This will not impact on your choice of course or how and where you will study.
