Program Structure

The History and Economics Option is a structured interdisciplinary option with undergraduate courses in History and Economics. It consists of 18 credits, distributed in three areas as follows:

  • Area of History: Two or three elective courses (6 or 9 credits) offered by the Department of History.
  • Area of Economics: Two or three elective courses (6 or 9 credits) offered by the Department of Economics.
  • Area of Research: One course (3 credits): After taking the previous 15 credits, students have two possibilities to complete the option and obtain the remaining 3 credits. They can choose between:
    1. Enrolling in a Seminar on History or Economics offered by one of the two departments.
    2. Carry out a guided research project (this is a research project carried out by the student under the guidance of a professor from the corresponding Department on the topic chosen by the student). As a result of the research project, students will hand in an essay, equivalent to an article.
