Course summary
This challenging combined-studies programme, taught by two of the best UK Departments in their respective disciplines, is designed to equip students with a thorough grounding in the theoretical principles and techniques of application in both fields.
What this course will give you
-
Teaching and research in both Departments engages with the most pressing problems of the day. Learning how to understand and respond to these challenges requires drawing on the strengths of focused social scientific analysis and the breadth of knowledge of a combined honours degree.
-
You will acquire a distinctive mix of theoretical and practical skills (including a range of analytical techniques, independent research skills, and project work) and specialised knowledge of the core principles of Economics, key approaches in Geography, and ways of integrating the two.
-
This training, and a degree that combines a set core of study with a very wide choice of optional areas of specialization, make UCL Economics and Geography students very attractive to employers in the UK and around the world, in finance, policy and government, and other sectors.
Your learning
Your timetable will include lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical classes. As you progress, the focus shifts to independent and critical learning, with student-led discussions becoming more important. While the structure of the degree is well defined, it is still possible to make some changes to this - to allow for dissertations and fieldclass work, for example.
Assessment
First-year assessment combines independent coursework completed throughout the year with written examinations taken at the end of the year. In the second and third years, the assessment may vary between modules, some combining written examinations with various types of independent projects, some assessed solely by written examination.
Careers
Having been trained in both sciences and humanities, UCL geographers are skilled in taking different perspectives on an issue, working independently and adapting to changing circumstances. Skills gained through the further study of economics include finding solutions to real-world problems, mathematical skills and an enhanced understanding of political and economic events.
A degree combining economics and geography has proved attractive to many employers, particularly those in business and commerce, the public sector and international organisations.
