St Andrews has a unique place in Scottish History. Not only is it home to Scotland’s oldest university, founded in 1413, but it has been a seat of learning and burial place of kings since the eighth century. From the tenth to the seventeenth century it was also the ecclesiastical capital of the country. Where better to study Scottish History?


Having decided to study in Scotland, getting a grounding in the history of the country will add breadth and depth to your university experience, whatever degree you decide to pursue. Studying Scottish History, even if only for a year or two, will give you a fascinating background and context for your studies here.

Scottish Historians within the School of History run a full degree programme that provides chronological coverage from antiquity to the present day. Each module at sub-honours (available to First and Second years) aims to present a rounded picture of Scotland’s historical development and distinctiveness within the period concerned, while showing how this process was influenced and shaped by engagement with other cultures and societies. The issues of nation building, loss of sovereignty, the tensions between core and periphery, and the reclamation of nationhood, are aspects of Scotland’s historical development which form the core issues of sub-honours teaching.


The modules assume no prior knowledge of Scottish History and form an ideal introduction to an understanding of Scotland’s unique historical development and place in the wider world. More specialist modules are available at Third and Fourth levels to suitably qualified students. They deal with a wide range of periods and issues including the early relations of the Picts and Scots, the Viking attacks and settlement, the Wars of Independence, late mediaeval kingship, the union of the Anglo-Scottish crowns and parliaments, Scottish soldiers and merchants abroad, the eighteenth-century Enlightenment and the various socio-economic problems of modern Scotland.
