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 that enhance your employability.
Our classes cover some of the most important and interesting historical periods at home and abroad, including Scotland’s ‘Highland Problem’ in the 16th century, Slavery in World History and Cold War Europe, 1945-1991.
We also offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK
HRM is about the relationship between employers and employees and how people are managed in the workplace.
This covers areas such as recruitment and selection, training and developing and managing conflict at work. These are an important part of the management process in all organisations.
