Philosophy, Bioethics and Health

The urban environment is exciting, yet often prone to problems. How can we explain and tackle problems such as poverty, crime and segregation= Applying the theory to practical issues is one of the key features of the programme. Central areas of study include regional development, urban problems, transport policy and environmental issues. You will learn how to analyse problems from an economic perspective, taking into consideration key factors including space, transport and the environment. You will then be able to use your analyses to investigate potential solutions and formulate policy recommendations. The Master's programme in Spatial, Transport and Environmental Economics (STREEM) is a high quality one-year programme designed for the professional economist with an interest in spatial, transport or environmental economics. It offers excellent career prospects. Many graduates get jobs as policy economists with the government or consultancy firms like KPMG and Ernst & Young.
