The programme aims to provide thorough background training in the various Scottish Studies disciplines. You will learn to analyse and synthesise this knowledge in an interdisciplinary context, question assumptions about the primacy of one specific discipline over others and receive an introduction to subjects which you may not have experienced at undergraduate level.
This interdisciplinary programme is run by the Research Institute in the Culture, History and Ethnology of Scotland (RICHES).
You have the opportunity to take taught courses in subjects offered both by the School of History, Classics and Archaeology and the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and undertake full research training in Scottish Studies.
