Duration
3 Years
On this course you’ll learn how to combine historical context with current awareness of major global trends and challenges, and evaluate evidence of various kinds.
Your choices on the History side are historically and geographically diverse, and you can focus on what fascinates you the most. In your Economics studies, we’ll introduce you to the basics of economics, both macro and micro. You’ll then apply these to contemporary social, economic and historical problems, such as poverty and inequality, high unemployment and rising pollution. Hopefully you’ll figure out some of the solutions too.
