our geography and economics degree gives equal weight to both disciplines, although the balance can be modified in the final year. in each year, you will receive regular programme-related classes in geography and economics. in year 1, you will take two modules in geography, principles of geography i and principles of geography ii, the latter includes a week-long field class. in economics, you take two compulsory modules, introduction to mathematics for economists and economics, and one optional module from a range of first-year economics modules. in year 2, you will take two compulsory modules in economics: microeconomics and macroeconomic theory and policy. you also select a minimum of three modules in geography. one further module is normally selected from the geography year 2 options but can be taken in economics as long as you then take at least three modules in geography in your final year. in year 3, you will take eight modules of which at least two modules, and not more than six modules, can be selected from any of the second/third year modules in economics. at least two modules, and not more than six modules, must be chosen from all year 3 geography options. most students do not take a dissertation in their final year, but exceptions may be made following consultation with the geography and economics programme tutor. the geography and economics (international) bsc route offers the flexibility of our three-year bsc course with an additional year abroad studying at one of our international partner institutions. to be considered for the international route, you must average a mark of 60% or more at the end of year one. you will have the opportunity to apply to study abroad at the start of your second year. if you are successfully allocated a place, you will then be transferred onto the four-year geography and economics (international) bsc programme.
