The School of Economics offers a major sequence in Economic History. Economic History, as a discipline, seeks to provide an understanding of the present through the study of economic and social developments in the past.

Students majoring in other disciplines and those concerned with area studies will find Economic History courses that complement their major sequence.

In certain circumstances Economic History courses may also be counted towards a major sequence from another school in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

Assessment in the School of Economics is by essays, tutorial participation and examination. The relative weight of each of these varies from course to course and is announced in each course at the beginning of each session. A minimum of 60% of total assessment will be by examination.

A major sequence consists of at least 36 units of credit in courses offered in Economic History, of which no more than 12 units of credit may be from Level 1 courses.

In order to enrol in a 6 unit of credit Upper level course in Economic History, a candidate must have passed 36 Level 1 units of credit in Arts and completed any specific prerequisite course or courses listed.

It is possible to complete a major in Economic History composed of Upper Level courses only.
