History at Glasgow is a large and dynamic subject area with over forty historians ranging from early medieval to late modern. Areas of thematic focus include gender history, war studies, slavery studies, Scottish history and global history. Recent REF results demonstrate the excellence of our research and our commitment to public engagement, while our NSS scores indicate the strength of our student-centred, research-led teaching culture.
