Benefitting from the high quality research and teaching expertise of leading historians in this field, it offers the graduate an unrivalled opportunity to
develop an in-depth understanding of the modern history of Scotland from the Union of the Parliaments (1707) to devolution (1999), and to explore their own specific research interests, with the reassurance and support of a professional and dedicated supervisory team.
