Studying history - the story of humanity through the ages - develops your knowledge of the past and gives you a better understanding of the present.
Throughout your studies, you'll receive excellent training in areas such as problem-solving, communication, research methods, and interpretation.
Our classes cover some of the most important and interesting historical periods at home and abroad, including Scotland's 'Highland Problem' in the 16th Century, Slavery in Modern History and Cold War Europe, 1945-1991.
Today's media industry expands beyond traditional print and broadcast journalism. It includes professional bloggers and vloggers, freelance writers and editors, podcasters, people working in entertainment TV, radio, or film, creators of video games and interactive apps, promoters of ideas and products, and many others.
The most successful professionals in today's media are not only highly skilled in reporting, writing, editing, and pitching their material, but they are also excellent communicators online and offline, and problem-solvers. They are innovative and entrepreneurial, bold and curious, open-minded and collaborative. These are also some of Strathclyde's core values, which guide our own teaching, research, and public engagement.

This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.
The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.
You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.
