Philosophy, Politics And Economics BA (hons) in University of Liverpool, UK

Philosophy, Politics And Economics BA (hons) in University of Liverpool

Philosophy, Politics and Economics unites three disciplines that are foundational to public life and policy. Nowadays, anyone hoping to understand or advance in politics has to be proficient in economics, and an understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of the various political views that jostle on the public stage has long been recognised as hugely important.

Programme in detail

This degree provides the opportunity to master the overlap of these three disciplines, to come to grips with some of their specialisms, to attain a very thorough grounding in mathematical economics, and to develop skills in identifying and evaluating the principles and values that underlie debates. The combination is highly sought after by employers, who appreciate the breadth of knowledge and variety of skills that it provides.

Year One will comprise entirely of compulsory modules: four from economics, and two each from philosophy and politics. In Year Two, you will take compulsory modules in economics and choose from a range of philosophy and politics options, which will give you some flexibility in the direction of your studies. For your final year you choose between a PPE-focused work placement or dissertation, and then optional modules from each of the three subjects.

Career prospects

Graduates in Philosophy, Politics and Economics obtain work in such fields as advertising, the financial sector, the arts, broadcasting, commerce, the Civil Service, computing, journalism, marketing, politics, law, management, and teaching. You have the opportunity during your degree to undertake a placement with an appropriate partner so that you can apply your academic learning to practical contexts and develop a range of skills attractive to future employers.

Work experience opportunities

The degree includes a year-long, 30-credit module (HASS300 Philosophy, Politics and Economics in the Workplace) that students must take in Year 3. It includes the opportunity to undertake a placement with a company, group, or institution related to PPE, providing practical/vocational experience.
