By combining the study of philosophy, politics and economics, you’ll ask how things should be, why they're as they're, and how to change them for the better.
You'll learn how to analyse problems by thinking creatively from multiple directions, using tools and concepts from economics, political science and philosophy. Taught by UEA’s field-leading researchers, you’ll understand the economic and political context of contemporary global issues. At the same time, you’ll broaden your horizons by addressing the underlying philosophical questions those issues pose.
Our dynamic community offers you plenty of opportunities to connect and get involved. The student-led Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Societies are the perfect places for you to network and socialise with fellow students. In research seminars and public lectures, you'll witness how current debates are evolving in our society. To develop and enhance your employability prospects, we organise a wide variety of activities, including employability workshops, networking and alumni events, internships and consulting opportunities.
Our Philosophy, Politics and Economics with a Placement Year course combines the theoretical with the hands-on and practical, equipping you with excellent research, communication and decision-making skills that you can use in a wide range of careers, from economic analysis, policy advising, and think tanks, to working for international organisations, the Civil Service, or in banking and finance.
