The program is designed for students who wish to study economic history at an advanced level and who are interested in carrying out a research project. Students are encouraged to combine their economic history with coursework in related disciplines. The total honours program is the equivalent of eight semester courses. These consist of:

(a) two fourth-year semester courses in economic history: Research Methods and Readings in Economic History 1 and 2.
(b) two semester courses at an appropriate level selected from economic history and related disciplines.
(c) a research thesis which is given the weight of four semester courses. The topic of research must be approved after consultation in the School, and work on the thesis is supervised by a member of the School.

Entry to the fourth-year honours program requires the approval of the Head of School, and interested students should discuss the matter with the Head of School or the convenor of the honours program.
