This programme combines two related yet distinct approaches to the study of human cultural expression, past and present.
Drawing on world-leading resources such as the School of Scottish Studies Archives and the collections of the oldest department of English Literature in the world, it is the only full undergraduate programme of its kind in the UK.
**Scottish Ethnology**
Sometimes described as being at the intersection where history and anthropology meet, Ethnology is the discipline which studies the culture and traditions of developed societies.
Focusing on Scotland, but introducing comparative material from elsewhere, you will study the varying ways in which a modern European nation expresses itself culturally, through such forms as its customs, beliefs, social organisation, language, music and song.
This programme explores questions like:
* How do these help to create and shape identity in the modern world?
* How do we use and make sense of the past from within our present?
* How can this understanding help us to shape our future?
Working with a range of rich materials, from traditional archives to modern media and digital data, you will develop the practical and intellectual tools to help navigate and influence contemporary culture and society in an increasingly globalised world.
**English Literature**
Through the study of English Literature, the programme also develops your critical, analytic, linguistic and creative skills by engaging with a broad range of texts and a variety of approaches to reading.
You will acquire an understanding of the cultural contexts of writing in English from the late Middle Ages to the present.
By enhancing your literary and critical faculties, the programme prepares you to contribute to a society in which an understanding of texts of all kinds is crucially important.
