Course summary
Taught jointly by our world-leading philosophy and economics departments, this programme allows you to study philosophical questions alongside core courses in economics.
Youll engage in wide-ranging philosophical debates encompassing ethics, science and justice, such as:
- What is the nature of reality?
- How should society be organised?
- What is a fair society?
- What are the moral pros and cons of our financial markets?
The economics elements of the programme help you to build your knowledge of core mathematical methods and statistical tools as well as macro and micro economics. In your third year, youll analyse public policy from both philosophical and economic perspectives 鈥� covering topics such as fair distribution and individual rights.
