English with German

Description

UCAS Code: Q3R2

The four-year MA (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.

Well-qualified applicants may gain advanced entry to Level 2 of the degree programme and achieve an Honours degree in just three years.

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 (Level 2 only for the Advanced Entry Honours degrees) 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.
