BA Modern History with Economics is a flexible course built around the study of modern history, economic history, economics and political economy. A key feature of the course is the opportunity you have to develop and apply transferable skills drawn from studying related academic disciplines in history and the social sciences. Broad course units in history and economics constitute the core of the degree in the first two years, leading to more specialist options (in history and economics/political economy) in Year 3, including an independent research project.
