History and Sociology and Professional Education

About this course

History and Sociology together form a powerful lens for understanding how societies change over time and why they are structured the way they are. History provides the long view, tracing how institutions, ideas, and inequalities have developed across generations and examining the evidence that survives to tell those stories. Sociology offers the conceptual tools to analyse power, identity, class, race, gender, and the everyday social arrangements that most people take for granted. Combining the two gives you an unusually rich set of frameworks for making sense of the contemporary world. At the University of Stirling, this four-year degree also prepares you for a career in teaching through the Professional Education strand. The programme is structured so that you qualify as a secondary school teacher alongside your academic studies, gaining extensive classroom experience as you progress.
