Course summary

This History and Political Economy BA/BSc will teach you how to incorporate historical analysis into your consideration of current political and economic events to better understand the challenges of today’s globalised world. You’ll learn from an amazing range of optional modules that cover the whole world and span a broad time period, with a focus on politics and economics and how they inform each other. For example, you’ll get to study history and political economy from the fall of Rome to the present day, covering the evolution of the world economy and the history of Western political ideas from Plato to the present. You will develop research skills and gain knowledge of different methodological approaches (quantitative and qualitative) used in the fields of history, political science, and economics. You’ll also enhance your transferable skills in analysis, written and oral communication, presentation and teamwork. After your first year, you’ll decide whether to study for a BA or a BSc degree. If you choose the BSc pathway, you’ll get additional training in political statistics in your second and third years.
