Course summary
Youll examine the impact of economic change on geography, both in todays world and in the past, and how different processes affect the economic and social geography of modern societies.
We look at questions such as:
- Why are some countries rich and others poor?
- What forces shape inequality?
- What can historical events tell us about current global economic developments and crises?
As you progress, youll complete a series of research projects based on primary historical sources. These culminate with a year-long dissertation in your third year where you undertake an original piece of research in historical economic geography.
When you graduate, youll have a range of highly transferable skills that will set you up for a career in the City, financial markets, NGOs and the charity sector, the Civil Service, teaching, government or academia.
Graduate destinations:
Economic history combines the skills of the economist, the statistician and the sociologist, as well as those of the historian, therefore graduates leave with a portfolio of highly transferable skills that can be applied across a wide variety of employment sectors. Our graduates can be found in senior positions throughout many professions, in the City, financial and market consultancy, NGOs and the charity sector, the civil service, sales and marketing, teaching, government and academia.
