Geography and Economics, BA (Hons), with industry placement

Pursuing a combined degree in economics and geography at Lancaster University provides access to expert instruction from both the Lancaster University Management School and the Geography Department. Students explore economics through the study of wealth production, distribution, consumption, and current global issues, while geography examines their implications in areas such as geopolitics, sustainable development, environmental conservation, and globalisation.The programme begins with foundational modules like Principles of Economics and Society and Space: Human Geography. In the second year, students advance to topics including Intermediate Microeconomics, Geographies of Political Economy, and Environment and Society. The third year involves an industry placement related to either discipline, complemented by a work-related learning module for reflection on career development. Finally, the fourth year culminates in an extended essay on a self-selected topic, guided by a supervisor, applying honed research, analytical, and writing skills.
