Master of Arts (Honours) - Scottish Studies (Q501)

As Scotland's capital city and seat of the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh is the ideal place for Scottish Studies. On this interdisciplinary program, students will explore what The University of Edinburgh can learn from Scotland's past and present, and how they can help shape its future.

Based within the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures, students will discover how literature, music and the visual arts have helped to shape Scottish identity. Ethnographical courses will explore heritage, the creative arts and cultural expression.

Students will also consider the complex relationship between culture and politics, as they draw parallels with other countries. This takes advantage of the University of Edinburgh's excellent links with Scotland's key political, cultural and historical institutions.

They can tailor their degree by choosing courses from a wide range of disciplines across the University that share a common interest in the study of Scotland. For example, they can opt to study aspects of: • Celtic civilisation and Scottish Gaelic

• History and archaeology • Politics and sociology
