Course summary

ECONOMICS:In studying economics you will learn how individuals and society make choices about how scarce resources are used, what products are produced and who gets to consume them. These choices depend on evaluating costs, benefits, risks and effects on others. You will study the principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics and will have the opportunity to develop an interest in fields such as government policy, developing countries, the economics of business and international trade and finance.

HISTORY: 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. We offer a broad range of courses ranging from medieval to modern times and across the globe. We provide small group teaching, a variety of assessments (including real-world tasks like policy papers and blogs) and one-to-one feedback tutorials. We host leading research centres in gender history, war studies, slavery studies, American studies and Scottish and Celtic studies.
