Politics with German

Description

UCAS Code: V2R2

At Dundee we believe in research-led teaching. That is to say, historians create modules around their areas of interest or the historical problems on which they are working. We regularly update our curriculum to reflect cutting-edge research.

Our emphasis is on 'doing history' and you will use a wide variety of primary sources (original documents) from archives and libraries right from the start.

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 generlist.

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.
