Cambridge Land Economy Interviews

Cambridge Land Economy is being renamed Environment, Law and Economics for students starting in October 2027. If you are interviewed in December 2026 or in the January winter pool, this is your course, and the department says content and admissions are unchanged.

The department describes the interview as a mini-supervision. This guide gives you a method for working through it out loud: seven moves for any unseen question, plus four questions for any problem about rights and rules.

Five toolkit Parts explain each idea in plain English with four practice questions worked in full: housing and land markets, the environment and externalities, law and the Coase theorem, policy trade-offs over time, and numbers without a calculator. Two annotated mock interviews, help with written work and “Why Land Economy?”, and a practice plan complete it. Every question is invented; official pages are linked throughout.

Included free in the Interview Pack and the Applicant Pass. For economics interviews across seven courses, see the Guide to Oxbridge Economics Interviews.
