Economic History Master's Programmes

The Department is one of the leading global centres for Economic History and, since the foundation of LSE, has been at the forefront in Economic History teaching and research. Our MSc students are a part of this tradition of excellence.

Economic Historians study the factors that drive economic development and how past economies have changed and transformed. Focusing on practical questions about real economies, our students and faculty uncover why some countries are rich and others poor, what forces shape inequality and what historical experience reveals about current global economic developments and crises.
