  3. Economics in the JH Degree Programme • There are (about) 43 places open to JH Economics entrants each year in this option • JH/TSM Economics students attend the same lectures and tutorials as “BESS”, “PPES” and many other students

  4. Joint Honours (JH) EconomicsDegree Programme • This option allows students to combine Economics with one of: • Geography (TR198) • History (TR202) • Mathematics (TR207) • Modern Languages (German or Spanish) (TR208) • Philosophy (TR209) • Sociology (TR212)

  5. Economics in the JH Degree Programme • The attraction of the JH programme is that it introduces students to two disciplines during their undergraduate studies • The particular combinations have been chosen because to at least some extent they match well together, e.g. • Economics and Mathematics will appeal to students with a high mathematical ability who are interested in a career in finance or actuarial studies • Economics and Geography is an excellent choice for those interested in urban and regional planning
