Our course gives you a solid education the relationship between modern history and economics. We expand your knowledge of the history of Britain, Europe and our world from 1500 to present day, whilst also developing your understanding of economics.On this course you spend equal time studying history-related and economics-related modules to aid a greater understanding of the world we live in, and to improve your ability to absorb, analyse and assess the information we have.
