Welcome to Modern Studies!

 

Why study Modern Studies?

Modern Studies is about the real world and what’s relevant to you. It allows you to look critically at society and government and engage in what’s happening round about us right now, in our own community, Scotland, the UK and the world. Modern Studies is a truly unique subject and will give you so much more than a qualification!

In Modern Studies, you will:

• Develop your understanding of the principles of democracy and citizenship through experience of critical and independent thinking
• Explore and evaluate different types of sources and evidence
