Philosophy and Economics

Combine two historically interlinked disciplines and develop a breadth of skills across both economics and philosophy on this course.

Economics is technically rigorous. You will build your analytical skills with mandatory units in macro- and microeconomics, mathematics, statistics and econometrics (the application of statistical methods to data to estimate economic models).

These are complemented by units in philosophy, which will equip you with skills in textual analysis, written and verbal expression, logic and critical thinking.

As you progress through your degree, you will be able to take an increasing number of optional units to specialise in the areas that interest you most.

Previous economics options have included: History of Economic Thought; Environmental Economics; Data Science; Current Economic Problems. Previous philosophy options have included: Democracy; Philosophy of Psychology; Evil, Deviance and Crime; Philosophy of Mathematics.
