Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| The principal objective of the course is to provide students with specialist knowledge and understanding of how late medieval Scotland was governed. The main modes of recent scholarly analysis of Scottish kingship are analysed, together with the primary evidence which has been used to support analytical frameworks. Students will emerge from the course having developed a sufficient degree of expertise in the subject to undertake a Masters dissertation. |
Assessment Information
| Students will be required to submit one individual essay of no less than 4000 words, and no more than 5000 words, to be handed in on the last Monday of the semester in which the course is run. The essay mark will count as 100% of the final grade. |
