Studying Economic Geography
Geography Matters!
Studies in economic geography are characterized by a spatial approach to the studied phenomena. The key terms are space, place and location. Studying in economic geography at the Turku School of Economics concentrates on the following themes:
- Changes in consumer behaviour
- Strategic regional development
- Globalisation, international trade, Asian economies, Global South
- Geography of retailing, strategic retail location planning
- Tourism business and experiential consumption
- Business responsibility and sustainability
- GIS methods in business
Broad knowledge base and understanding of the real-world phenomena are an economic geographer's greatest strengths in the labour market.
