BA Economics and Geography

BA Economics and Geography is a joint honours degree run in conjunction with the School of Geography. We are the parent department for this course which means you make your application to us and your personal tutor will be based in the Business School also.

BA Economics and Geography combines core knowledge and understanding of economics with the study of geography.

You will study some compulsory core modules in your subject and also have the opportunity to choose elective modules from a vast range of subjects offered by other Schools within the University. You will also choose modules from available specialised option subjects. These help you develop a deeper appreciation of Economics and Geography but in areas which are of particular interest to you. Modules are subject to change.
