A joint degree in history and economics provides a rare opportunity formally to study these two disciplines together.

While economics is concerned with the mechanisms and incentives affecting resource allocation, history adds its concerns with wider political and other forms and sources of change.

History provides specific insights into why change occurs when it does. It also emphasises the differing contexts in which ideas emerge and in which they are used.

This degree will provide you with an opportunity to develop your qualitative, quantitative and analytical skills.

It will also see you combine the conceptual and mathematical approaches of economics with the contextual and archival approaches of history.
