IELTS (Academic): 6.5 overall (no individual band less than 5.5)
Studying history – the story of humanity through the ages – develops your knowledge of the past and gives you a better understanding of the present.
Throughout your studies, you'll receive excellent training in areas such as problem-solving, communication, research methods and interpretation.
Our classes cover some of the most important and interesting historical periods at home and abroad, including Scotland’s ‘Highland Problem’ in the 16th century, Slavery in World History and Cold War Europe, 1945-1991.
Our main focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour.
Studying with us, you'll look at conditions of behaviour – how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for differences between individuals, such as personality or intelligence.
Due to the popularity of the psychology course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4) the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 are limited.
Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).
