Economic activity is highly uneven across space - with significant consequences for human development and environmental quality. This makes it vital to understand the forces driving social, political, environmental and economic change. The BSc in Geography with Economics at LSE provides students with the analytical tools needed to do this.

This programme combines the two complementary fields of geography and economics. It offers the analytical rigour of economics, and applies this to real-life examples in human geography. This is a major/minor programme, with around 75 per cent of this programme in geography, and the remaining 25 per cent in economics.

Teaching on the programme is informed by the latest research in the field, and academic staff work with policy makers, the third sector, as well as big business, to apply academic insights to real-world processes. In your third year, you can choose to undertake an independent research project, which will allow you to apply your knowledge to a topic of your choosing.
