One of our most popular combined programmes, MA (Master of Arts) History and Politics provides the opportunity to link two key disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
This programme will help you develop a detailed understanding of history and political science. It is a good choice if you are interested in:
- adding theoretical understanding to your interests in political history
- providing historical context to your studies in political science
- combining two important subjects
Edinburgh is the ideal place to study this programme. In addition to the superb resources of the University, the city is home to a range of political and governmental institutions including the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government.
The National Records of Scotland also contains a major collection of material relating to the government of Scotland since the medieval period.
