The module covers the development of Scotland from the political union of 1707 to the creation of the Scottish parliament in 1997. It has a broadly chronological structure. The module examines the social, political, religious and economic factors that have shaped modern Scotland, from high politics of the British and Scottish parliaments to the impacts of urbanisation, industrial growth and decline and religion on everyday life. While the focus is firmly on Scotland, it places the nation within an international context, especially with regard to migration and the Scottish economy.

Modern Scottish History:1707 to present is an Honours level course which can be taken by Open University students as a Level 3 course, and by anyone else who can demonstrate an ability to study at that level.

Course programme

The course will develop historical skills, with a particular emphasis on historical debate, the analysis and interpretation of historical documents and other data, such as buildings and archaeological evidence, the evaluation of secondary sources, and the writing of historical essays.

Student Support

Students are allocated to a tutor who will mark course assignments and will be available, by correspondence, email and by telephone, to give help and advice on the course. Two optional Saturday study days are held in Dundee in November and March (provisional, subject to numbers). This gives students the chance to hear leading specialists in Scottish history and to meet tutors and other students in tutorials.

Assessment

There are six tutor marked assignments. Some will incorporate exercises in documentary analysis as well as standard essays. The final assignment will be an extended essay worth 40% of the final mark. Study Guides and your tutor will give advice in writing essays
