‘The combinations of subjects on offer has given me the opportunity to take on three very different subjects that I love so I can sample each one and eventually specialise in one or two areas. There is no sense of being locked into a degree programme at Glasgow; you’re encouraged to develop a wide range of knowledge in your first and second years.’
Adam Williamson, first-year student studying Spanish, Music and Politics

A note on names
At Glasgow (and the other three ancient universities in Scotland), an Honours level degree in the Arts is called a Master of Arts (MA) or a Master of Arts (Social Sciences). This should not be confused with the Master of Arts offered by some universities in England, which refers to a postgraduate qualification.
