Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: V3L7
Here's what London School of Economics says about its Economic History and Geography course.
Economic history is concerned with economic change in the past. It uses concepts and theories from across the social sciences to study the development of real economies and understand them in their social, political and cultural contexts. It combines the skills of the economist and the historian, the statistician and the sociologist. Meanwhile, geography focuses on improving understanding of the social, economic and environmental aspects of geography and informing policy processes worldwide.
This programme combines the two complementary fields of economic history and geography in a joint honours programme, with around half of the programme in each field. You will consider important global questions such as how economic change in the past and up to the present has been shaped by geography and how processes reaching well back in the past affect the economic and social geography of modern societies.

Night life surprisingly active; you just have to make sure to make friends in halls / course / sports. Sports particularly socially active.

1st year student
It's quite good if you get stuck in, I would say that if you don't really put yourself out there then you could feel very lonely very fast.

It is in London which is obviously quite expensive and I was never really eligible for financial support
