Overview

Taught in the History Faculty over eleven months of full-time study, this master's trains students in statistical and social science methods and treats economic relationships and institutions as cultural phenomena. It combines taught modules, instruction in quantitative and qualitative research methods, and a long independent dissertation of between 15,000 and 20,000 words. Teaching centres on social, demographic and financial history as well as the history of economic thought. A dedicated member of staff supervises each student and directs the research. Graduates come away with advanced social science research skills and a substantial piece of original analysis to their name.
