Teaching and Learning

We offer a broad range of module on Economic, Transport, Urban Studies and Political Geographies from undergraduate to graduate levels. In addition to non-Geography undergraduate major, we offer most of the courses to international exchange students. We are trying to develop potential political/economic tracks through Geography learning in the NUS.

The territoriality and spatial organisation of markets and industries remain major research issues in economic geography. Broadly, we can identify several spatially meditated forms of markets (e.g. capital, labour and technology). These markets are organised into different industries that in turn exhibit certain spatial tendencies and local embeddedness. This module aims to evaluate different geographical perspectives on markets and industries. The topics to be covered in this module are potentially highly diverse. They may range from the social regulation of local labour markets and the spatial formation of knowledge in financial markets to the development of high-tech industries and clusters.
