Overview

Our BA Philosophy, Politics and Economics with a Year Abroad degree equips you with three powerful toolkits to decode global challenges and create meaningful change—enhanced by immersive international experience. Philosophy explores fundamental questions about knowledge, ethics, and human existence. Politics examines how societies organise themselves and make collective decisions. Economics investigates how resources are produced, distributed, and consumed. Together, these disciplines provide complementary tools to analyse today's most pressing issues—from inequality to technological disruption.

Key facts

What distinguishes this programme is your transformative year abroad at one of our partner universities. This experience provides an unparalleled opportunity to view philosophical traditions, political systems, and economic models through new cultural perspectives. You'll develop global awareness, adaptability, and cross-cultural communication skills that add unique depth to your Philosophy, Politics and Economics toolkit.

You'll develop exceptional critical thinking by approaching complex problems from multiple angles. When examining issues like economic inequality, you'll analyse market forces through economics, power structures through politics, and moral questions about fairness through philosophy—now enriched by international insight.

Your learning extends beyond lectures through our vibrant student societies, where you'll debate big ideas and build lasting networks. Engage with cutting-edge thinking through research seminars and public lectures featuring prominent thinkers addressing crucial contemporary debates.
