About this course

Clarity helps us to understand our users’ behaviour by visually representing their clicks, taps and scrolling. All data is anonymised. Economic and social history uniquely combines the study of history and the social sciences.

The discipline focuses on social and economic structures, activities, and experiences over time. The programme examines how people in the past lived and worked, and how this has affected the development of the world today. You will engage with a passionate team of experts, join a community of world changers, and explore connections across degree subjects (including languages and study abroad).

You will study economic and social trends from 1750 to the present day, in Britain and internationally, and with an emphasis on the development of a wide range of transferable skills.
