About University of Brigant
Historic UK university (founded 1883) with Edinburgh campus and tuition-free online degrees.
Overview
University of Brigant’s MA British and Scottish Historiography is for people who need to argue about how the past of these islands has been written—Union, empire, class, Gaelic and Scots sources—without a patriotic pageant. Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online, one standard. You will work with historiographical debates and archive literacy, not a creative-writing castle tour. Dual-pathway students get the same reading demand. No national-archive logos. Not QTS. Dual-pathway readers face the same historiographical demand, with lawful digital surrogates where a closed file cannot travel. Extra Gaelic or Scots source work is welcomed where the student has evidence; it is not a decorative header on an English essay.
Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
