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 Scotlands ‘Highland Problem in the 16th century, Slavery in World History and Cold War Europe, 1945-1991. With more than 500 million native speakers, Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the world. Speaking Spanish will help you conduct business more confidently in countries that are becoming increasingly important in world markets. Studying with us will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and/or studying in another country.
