Economics and History BA(Hons

BA(Hons)

Your course

On this course, you’ll learn how to combine historical context with current awareness of major global trends and challenges, and evaluate evidence of various kinds. Your choices on the History side are historically and geographically diverse. You’ll be able to explore the cultural, social and political impact of events and eras in Britain, Europe and across the world, from medieval to modern times.

In your Economics studies, we’ll introduce you to the basics of economics at both macro and micro levels. You’ll then apply the concepts you have learned to contemporary social, economic and historical problems, such as poverty reduction and inequality measurement, high unemployment and rising pollution. Hopefully, you’ll figure out some of the solutions too. Our creative teaching and learning will help improve your communication and analysis skills. We have a friendly, hands-on approach to delivering our courses, involving you in independent and team work, problem solving and digital literacy.
