Course programme

Year 1

You will be introduced to the critical tradition of Scottish literature and will study Scottish texts from the earliest times to the present day. You will read the work of many of the nation’s best-known writers. Texts, including those in the Scots language, are explored within the context of key historical and cultural themes.

Year 2

The following year you will explore older Scottish literature and language, including the great medieval Makars (poets), Dunbar and Henryson, and the great morality play Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis. Eighteenth-century writing, including Ramsay, Smollett and Burns, is also an important part of the programme.

You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Degrees in Arts, Life Sciences, Science and Social Sciences.

Years 3 and 4

If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4) you will explore in depth new theoretical approaches to Scottish literature, and study widely in different periods and aspects, from medieval Scottish literature through the work of Burns and Scott, to the contemporary scene.

The topics offered to students at Honours level include beginnings to early modern, alternative Renaissances, history of Scots, history of the Scottish book, popular literary enlightenment, textual editing, Scottish journeys, modern Scottish poetry, memorialising Scottish culture and literature, and contemporary Scottish literature.

Our international links

You can spend up to a year of your degree studying abroad, normally in your third year. We have links with the Universities of Lausanne, Mainz and Verona. See Study abroad.
