Department of Economics Welcome to Trinity College Welcome to the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Welcome to the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy Welcome to the Department of Economics Welcome to Joint Honours (JH) Economics JH was previously known as Two Subject Moderatorship (TSM) Economics: JH/TSM

Economics in the JH Degree Programme There are (about) 43 places open to JH Economics entrants each year in this option JH/TSM Economics students attend the same lectures and tutorials as “BESS”, “PPES” and many other students

Joint Honours (JH) Economics Degree Programme This option allows students to combine Economics with one of: Geography (TR198) History (TR202) Mathematics (TR207) Modern Languages (German or Spanish) (TR208) Philosophy (TR209) Sociology (TR212)

Economics in the JH Degree Programme The attraction of the JH programme is that it introduces students to two disciplines during their undergraduate studies The particular combinations have been chosen because to at least some extent they match well together, e.g. Economics and Mathematics will appeal to students with a high mathematical ability who are interested in a career in finance or actuarial studies Economics and Geography is an excellent choice for those interested in urban and regional planning
