Courses in economic history
We offer a large number of courses in our subject area that provide indispensable and broad knowledge of economics, society and history, but which also facilitate the understanding of many other subjects, such as economics, sociology, political science. Immersing yourself in economic history is not only the most interesting thing you can do, but has proven to be a successful venture to get a good job after graduation.
When you start studying at the university, you study courses at the undergraduate level. Basic level courses can be found in two levels; basic courses and bachelor's courses. The basic courses are based on knowledge you acquired in upper secondary school, while bachelor's and advanced courses require previous studies in Economic History at university or college. The next step is advanced level courses, which require completed undergraduate education.
