The MSc Economic History (Research) provides the essential training and skills needed to pursue research in any aspect of economic history.
You will be able to choose from a wide range of elective courses in economic history, allowing you to compile a programme according to your interests and career goals. You will also choose one or more research training courses and a compulsory economic history course, as well as taking a core course focussed on major theories and approaches in the field. An important component of the programme consists in the completion of a major research dissertation in an approved topic of your choice.
Economic history combines the skills of the economist and statistician with those of the historian, political scientist and sociologist. The programme provides a broad training in social science research methods and their application to historical study, including the role of theory, evaluation, analysis and explanation, quantitative techniques and computing, the use of sources and presentational skills.
Upper second class honours degree (2:1) or equivalent in social science.
