Scottish Literature In this subject, you will study literature written in English from all major periods in history, from medieval to postmodern. You will explore in depth a range of individual works and authors, and the historical contexts in which works of literature were created. You will learn to compare different writing styles and genres. You will also study the evolution of literary thinking and how literary works have been interpreted in different ways over time. History History enables us to understand how the world has developed and become what it is today. Studying events and issues from the past also affects the way we see the present and future.

This programme also gives you the opportunity to choose from a broad range of historical themes, including political history, cultural history, economic and social history, environmental history and gender history.
