Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics and Economics

Program Overview

  • Focus on values and beliefs to deepen your understanding of the specific needs of individuals and communities within local and global societies
  • Benefit from opportunities for work placements in politics, field visits and face-to-face engagement with major political figures
  • Gain specialist skills that equip you to work in politics, but also in journalism, business, and for NGOs and think-tanks
  • Enjoy extra weekly talks and seminars by leading international thinkers across the campus on questions relating to your course

Building on this, you study a wide range of political and economic modules focused on the modern world and debate contentious political issues. It’s an exciting course explicitly oriented towards how future global challenges demand that we learn to think differently.

In Year 1 you study introductory modules in each component discipline of Philosophy, Politics and Economics

In Year 2 you engage with the theories of heavyweight philosophers such as George Hegel, Karl Marx and Immanuel Kant and investigate key theories of politics, economics and governance. Optional modules are available in The War on Terror, Bioethics and the History of Economic Thought.

In Year 3 you produce your 10,000 word dissertation which can be on any one of the disciplines or a combination thereof. Optional modules are available in Contemporary Philosophy, the Politics and Ethics of the post-Crash Economy, and Populism and National Identity.
