Arts and Social Sciences without Honours

Description

UCAS Code: VWL0

The three-year MA (without Honours) degree offers a range of subjects from business, the environment, humanities, and psychology. It has been designed to maximise flexibility in course choices both for the specialist and the generalist.

The MA possesses the flexibility of the traditional Scottish degree structure in which students take at least two main subjects in both Levels 1 and 2 and do not have to finalise their choice of degree course until Level 3 when they are better able to appreciate both the nature of the subjects they are studying and the relationships between them.

Students are offered considerable freedom in the combination of modules they can choose to take, but without compromise to the academic rigour of their programme.
