Modern Scottish History explores the history of Scotland during the past three hundred years, a momentous period which saw the transformation of the country from a largely agrarian to a leading industrial society, and during which Scotland became a partner in the British Empire. It begins with the Union of 1707 and ends with the opening of the new Scottish Parliament.
The course represents an innovative collaborative venture on the part of two universities - the University of Dundee and the Open University in Scotland. It also brings together, through the five specially commissioned course books which form the backbone of the course, 28 authorities on aspects of Scottish history from eight universities in Scotland, two in England, one in Germany and the National Museums of Scotland. A number of Scotland's leading historians have been involved in the production of the course.
Modern Scottish History 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.

Entry Requirements

Students need to demonstrate evidence of ability to study at Honours level. Those with limited qualifications or experience may be asked to submit a short piece of written work to assess their ability to cope with the level of work required.
