History and Economics
Why Choose Pembroke?
We ensure that this joint course offers the very best of both worlds, with a rich variety of topics rooted in the areas of both history and economics. Many of our own tutors have research interests which span the two disciplines and therefore have a real interest in encouraging students to pursue these overlapping areas of study.
Pembroke has quite a large team of tutors and lecturers. The Senior History Tutors are Stephen Tuck, an expert on the history of America, and Adrian Gregory, a specialist in First World War history and the writing of historical memory. We also have two Tutorial Fellows in Economics, Professor Pramila Krishnan, a specialist in Development Economics, Dr Brian A'Hearn, who specialises in Economic History, and a Teaching Fellow in Economics, Dr Craig Holmes, who specialises in Labour Economics.
- Throughout the year, Pembroke’s History community will often arrange dinners and other social occasions such as quizzes and film nights for the historians in college to meet together, in addition to regularly held academic presentations and talks.
Looking for single honours courses?
These disciplines can be taken as single honours courses, History and Economics and Management.
Have you considered our other joint honours courses?
Both of these disciplines form part of several joint honours courses, including History and English, History and Modern Languages, History and Politics and Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
