MA (Social Sciences Hon)
During your academic career at the University your choice of courses must fit the required structure of the degree. As you go through the enrolment process, after academic registration, clear guidance and course options appear in your Student Centre in MyCampus (accessed through your MyGlasgow portal).
Within the MA (Social Sciences) degree programme there are four degree structures:
the Joint Honours degree in two subject areas,
the Single Honours degree,
the Social Sciences (Ordinary) degree, and
the Subsidiary (single Honours) "with Quants" degree
Check the Undergraduate degree combinations to see which combinations are possible. Look for your subject/s and make sure the combination exists. If the combination is not offered, it is usually because of a time table clash which cannot be resolved.
