Economic and Social History MSc
University of Oxford
Key Course Facts
Course Description
Economic and social history is the study of economic activities and social organization in the historical past. This two-year specialist programme offers a unique framework for research training in economic and social history.
The MPhil/MSc in Economic and Social History offers a wide range of options and allows you to specialise in economic and/or social history, or historical demography, although the boundaries between these areas are deliberately permeable. It is intended to introduce you to the wide variety of methods used in the study of economic and social history, as well as to the subject itself.
If you wish to apply for the DPhil following the MPhil or MSc, you will be encouraged to develop your doctoral proposal during the first few months of the second year of the course, so that you will be well placed to make doctoral applications.
The MPhil in Economic and Social History provides an alternative route to the DPhil, which would allow for entry to the doctoral programme at the beginning of students’ third academic year in Oxford.
