Geography and Economics (Placement Year)

Summary

Studying a combined degree in economics and geography at Lancaster gives you the opportunity to benefit from expert teaching in both subjects. You’ll be taught jointly by staff in the Lancaster University Management School and our Geography Department, which is part of the Lancaster Environment Centre.

In economics, you’ll learn about the production and distribution of wealth and the consumption of goods and services. You’ll also cover many contemporary world issues. In geography, you’ll study the impact of these issues in terms of geopolitics, sustainable development, environmental conservation and globalisation.

You’ll begin your degree following modules including the Principles of Economics as well as Society and Space - Human Geography. In your second year, you’ll study subjects such as Intermediate Microeconomics; Geographies of Political Economy, and Environment and Society.

In your third year, you will undertake your industry placement in a field related to either geography or economics. As well as working with one of our industry partners, you will also undertake a work-related learning module, which will encourage you to critically reflect upon your time in the workplace and consider how it has impacted your future career goals.

In your final year, you will undertake an extended essay, guided by your academic supervisor. This essay offers a chance to investigate a topic of your choice related to both aspects of your joint degree. While completing the essay, you will use the essential research, analytical and academic writing skills you have learnt throughout your degree.
