It is possible to study Economics as a joint honours degree with History (50% Economics, 50% History).

A degree that includes Economics will appeal to anyone who wishes to study economic issues at local, national and international levels, while developing practical skills in business, finance and management which will subsequently be attractive to employers in both the private and public sectors. Economics has been defined as the study of human choice, and the impact of choice on the production, distribution and consumption of scarce resources. Microeconomics deals with choice at the individual level, and macroeconomics analyses the economy as a whole. An Economics degree includes a core microeconomics and macroeconomics component, and a specialism focusing on the economic context of business decision making. You will develop an awareness of applications of economics in areas including business management, finance and public policy.

About this course


The course aims to enable understudies to: Derive and manipulate algebraic equations, solve simultaneous linear equations and quadratic equations, differentiate and solve optimisation problems.
Describe data using graphical and numerical methods, and use the tools of probability to represent situations of uncertainty.
Understand the application of financial mathematics techniques to value cash flows that take place over time.
Apply all techniques to business, economics and finance problems involving cash flows such as revenues, costs, profit and interest.


These wide ranging skills can be applied to a great variety of careers which means that history and archaeology graduates are faced with a broad spectrum of job opportunities, arising both directly from their studies, or as a foundation for careers in other fields for which a degree in history or archaeology is particularly useful. Examples include:

Archaeological units, archives and librarianship
Museums and heritage management
Researchers and writers for television, radio and film
