This program offers a unique perspective by combining the study of economics with history. You will learn how societies manage scarce resources to improve outcomes and understand the economic decisions that have shaped our world. The economics component focuses on macroeconomic challenges at national and global levels, as well as the microeconomic behaviour of individuals and businesses. The history component delves into social, cultural, and political history from the early modern to the contemporary period, covering the British Isles, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and India. You will engage with primary sources from the outset and analyze diverse historical evidence, including written and oral materials, maps, visual art, and music, critically assessing how these sources inform our understanding of the past and present debates.

The curriculum integrates economic theory with historical analysis, providing a comprehensive understanding of societal development and decision-making.
