Land Economy is a multidisciplinary subject at the University of Cambridge. It is the study of law, economics, and the environment in so far as they relate to land usage and development. As such, areas studied include property law, planning law, microeconomics, deforestation, agricultural trends, crop rates farming and the economies of various lands, particularly in Western and Eastern Europe. As the only course of its kind in the world, competition for places is fierce and the course attracts a higher than usual number of international applicants. Whilst sometimes seen as an easy course at Cambridge, the Tripos is in fact rigorous and testing, with students required to work on a broader range of disciplines than in other subjects. As a result, Land Economy graduates are the most employable of Cambridge graduates, and commonly work in the fields of investment banking, law, government, surveying and property development.
