Explore how to integrate economic thinking into our environment, lighting the way to a more sustainable future.
Some of the most severe environmental and social problems occur because we separate economic activity from our environment and society. That makes us more susceptible to health problems, economic loss and the decline of our natural environment.
As an ecological economics student, you’ll learn how to embrace and deeply intertwine these concepts, gaining the skills and confidence to tackle related problems with a range of tools. You’ll engage in real-world learning in economics, focusing on critical problems while integrating a range of perspectives.
You’ll learn from leading experts and academics from the School of Earth, Environment and Sustainability, with some modules from the Leeds University Business School, both of which conduct internationally excellent research that feeds directly into your programme.
By the end of your course, you’ll be able to help address problems ranging from local concerns over justice and environmental governance to the global crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.
