On the other hand, the Land Economy degree at the University of Cambridge combines elements of economics, law, and geography to study the use and management of land and natural resources. It covers topics such as property law, land use planning, environmental economics, and real estate finance, and aims to provide students with a broader understanding of the economic and legal aspects of land and property.
