Why study with us?

 

A Strathclyder for me is someone who doesn't just have knowledge, but who has a commitment to using that knowledge for the betterment of the people around them.

Exploring how humanity thinks, acts, creates and interacts

The Department of Humanities is a community of researchers, teachers, students, and support staff working on some of the most important and engaging topics in historical and contemporary culture.

MSc Diplomacy & International Security

I enjoyed the multidisciplinary approach to the course as not only did this give students freedom over their learning, it also made class and group discussions more interesting and informative as students were able to bring different perspectives from other modules and backgrounds to their analysis.
