The BA (Hons) Economics and Geography is run jointly by the Department of Economics and geography specialists within the Lancaster Environment Centre, and allows you to take advantage of the complementary aspects of these two subjects. Economics analyses the production and distribution of wealth at the level of the firm and household (micro-economics) as well as at the national and international levels (macro-economics). It addresses important contemporary issues like public policy, banking, global poverty, climate change and regional and urban growth. Geography considers the spatial and environmental impacts of such topics. It analyses such issues as natural resource management, environmental conservation planning, sustainable development, urban neighbourhood dynamics, transport policy and geopolitics. Graduates in Economics and Geography acquire an incisive perspective and analytical skills that are greatly valued by employers in many fields, including corporate planning, economic consultancy, the financial sector and the civil service.
