Philosophy/Scottish History at University of Glasgow - UCAS

Course summary

Philosophy is the systematic attempt to arrive at clear answers to profound questions about issues such as knowledge, life, morality, science and human nature using reason and argument. We host reading parties for students, usually in the Highlands, and have a flourishing undergraduate Philosophy Society. Scottish History: The study of history is the study of change and continuity in human society through time. Scottish history is the study of Scotland’s past. Scottish History at Glasgow boasts renowned researchers at the cutting edge of the discipline across all periods, from medieval to modern. The Centre for Scottish & Celtic Studies at Glasgow addresses Scottish history in a genuinely crossdisciplinary environment and students are encouraged to get involved.
