All important social issues — climate change, health care, inequality, political participation, criminal justice and much more — have philosophical, political and economic dimensions. Our Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is a challenging and rigorous course of study that equips you with the skills to engage with these issues from a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective.
You'll gain a solid foundation in all three disciplines, exploring how each one can enhance your understanding of the others. You'll also learn about the shared history of philosophy, politics, and economics, while building the critical thinking and analytical skills essential for success in the workplace.
