History/Russian Master of Arts (with Honours) - MA (Hons)

The study of history is the study of change and continuity in human society through time. Glasgow offers a wide-ranging programme from medieval to modern times. Our teaching draws on research expertise in Scottish, British, European, US and global history; slavery studies; gender history; and war, intelligence and genocide studies. A degree in Russian will allow you to study a language of strategic international significance, as well as giving you access to the richness of Russian culture.
