Land Economy at Clare
During the first year, students acquire a solid understanding of the core components of the subject, with papers on law, economics, methods and an interdisciplinary introduction to the spectrum of topics covered by the tripos.
In subsequent years, students further develop their knowledge of the core papers and gain exposure to more specialised subjects, including finance, planning, development and environmental policy.
The Land Economy tripos is highly regarded by employers in both the UK and overseas. The employment and career prospects of graduates have been consistently oustanding. In addition, the tripos paves the way for further study of the most pressing challenges the world faces today, such as environmental degradation, the future of cities and inequality.
