This programme combines courses on Scottish history with those from the wider arena of historical study. It enables you to combine a well-rounded and broadly-based training in history with a particular focus on Scotland's past.

The University has always been one of the great centres for the study of Scottish history. We offer an unrivalled concentration of expertise in this field. Our courses cover aspects of Scotland's history from the medieval period to the recent past, including:

political
intellectual
economic
social
cultural
This programme fuses Edinburgh's excellence in this particular field with the wider offerings of its large and diverse history department.

Your study will seek to place Scotland's development over time in the broadest context and make connections, comparisons and contrasts with the history of other countries.
