Designed for those with an interest in exploring modern financial systems and statistical analysis, this highly specialised degree offers a firm foundation in economic and financial theory and develops the valuable analytical and quantitative skills required by the financial services industry.

Studying real-life data you will gain an appreciation and understanding of the advanced statistical methods that professional economists use to model the economy and you will learn to test these theories against evidence, becoming fully competent in data-based research.

Environmental geography focuses on the physical environment and its effect on humans.

Understanding the integration of physical and environmental geography has never been more important than it is today to address the environmental challenges facing the world.

This course covers aspects of physical geography such as sea level change, glacial and coastal environments and environmental hazards. It also covers other areas of environmental geography such as biogeography, Geographical Information Systems and sustainability. You'll have opportunities to study the human impacts on the environment through the study of natural resource management, environmental law and policy and environmental economics.
