Studying Economic History at LSE (LS19308)
Taster course information>
Open to Year 12 students - come along to our taster course to experience two taster sessions with LSE academics, meet LSE students and discover the options available in the LSE Department of Economic History.
Economic historians study how past economies have changed and the factors that influence economic development. LSE’s Department of Economic History focusses on practical questions about real economies. For instance, why are some countries rich and others poor, what forces shape inequality and what does historical experience reveal about current global economic developments and crises?
Economic historians use concepts and theories from across the social sciences to study the historical development of economies and understand them in their social, political and cultural contexts.
LSE’s Department of Economics History offers undergraduate programmes in Economic History and joint programmes with Economics and Geography.
Applications for this taster course are now closed.
Course requirements
This LSE taster course is only open to Year 12 students with an interest in studying Economic History, not any of the other subjects offered by LSE.
