MA (Hons) Scottish Historical Studies with French in Dundee United Kingdom | University of Dundee

Learn French while delving into the rich history of the Highlands and Islands and early Scottish governance, examining authentic 17th-century manuscripts, and conducting in-depth analysis of Scotland's role in the transatlantic slave trade. The program also investigates the evolution of Scottish and British national identities from the Act of Union in 1707 to modern times.

Our program focuses on hands-on historical practice. From your first year, you'll work directly with primary sources, evaluating diverse historical materials including documents, oral histories, cartographic resources, visual media, cinema, artworks, and musical compositions.

After building foundational knowledge, you'll concentrate your studies at Levels 3 and 4, having previously explored Scottish history in conjunction with British, Irish, American, European, and world history spanning from early modern to contemporary eras.

The curriculum encourages critical examination of major historical debates, tracing their development and influence on our global perspective. You'll gain insight into historical methodology and assess historians' impact on modern public discourse, media, and cultural preservation.
