Our Fellow and Director of Studies in Environment, Law, and Economics, Professor Laura Diaz Anadon, is globally recognised for her work on public and private innovation in the climate and energy space, and the public policy environment to support this.
With a cohort of up to 12 Environment, Law, and Economics undergraduates in St John’s, together with several MPhil and other postgraduate students, there’s a ready-made community of interest sharing ideas, experience and learning in the College.
Our large Fellowship means that our students can draw upon an unparalleled network of expertise in many of the cognate disciplines in the Tripos, especially Economics, Law and Geography.
Environment, Law and Economics students join with Geographers in the Purchas Society, a student-run society that organises talks, socials and events throughout the year.
At St John's, we have a dedicated bursarial award available to support the study expenses of an Environment, Law and Economics student (subject to criteria).

We are looking for students who stand out as people with the potential, ability and motivation to succeed in this multidisciplinary subject. Enthusiasm and an enquiring mind count for a lot – an innate interest in the subject and intellectual curiosity are good indicators of real academic potential.
We select the brightest and most committed students, so work hard to secure excellent examination results. Continue to perform very well in school/college in your penultimate and final years so that your teachers are able to confirm that you are one of their very best students when writing your UCAS reference.
A strong application will include evidence of how you’ve developed your interest in aspects of land, property and environment. This could be through relevant reading and listening to podcasts, following news stories that focus on the role property plays in the pressing issues of our time, and perhaps attending a local court to see the law in action.
