Description:

By combining the study of philosophy, politics and economics you can ask how things should be, why they are as they are, and how they can be changed for the better. Offered across the Schools of Economics and of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies, you will gain high-level training in economic science while exploring political and philosophical approaches to understanding human behaviour. You will learn about the core areas of economics. You’ll also study philosophical topics such as scepticism, freedom and morality, and explore social and political values such as equality and solidarity. In addition, you’ll learn to analyse a given economic, political or social problem using not only economic tools and concepts, but also those from political science and philosophy, applying this multifaceted approach in order to create new insights. If you’re looking for a programme that combines the ideological with the practical, and equips you with excellent skills in research, communication and decision making that will be of use across any number of careers, this is for you.
