What will I learn?
You will build a rigorous understanding of how economic activity is distributed across space and why those patterns persist or change. The course covers classical location theory, agglomeration economies, urban land use, and regional growth models. You will develop hands-on skills in GIS mapping, spatial regression, and shift-share analysis. Global topics include foreign direct investment, value chain governance, energy geography, and climate risk. You will also study innovation systems, digital economy geography, and professional research methods. By the end, you will be equipped to analyse regional economies and communicate findings to policy and business audiences.
