History and Economics MA

A joint degree in history and economics provides a rare opportunity to study these two disciplines together. <br/><br/>While economics is concerned with the mechanisms and incentives affecting resource allocation, history adds its concerns with wider political and other sources of change. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>You will have the opportunity to develop your qualitative, quantitative and analytical skills.<br/><br/>It will also see you combine the conceptual and mathematical approaches of economics with the contextual and archival approaches of history.
