About this course

Our BA Philosophy with Business Management will feed your intellectual curiosity and challenge your thinking. It allows you to dig deeper into ideas and question received wisdom. At the same time, you will acquire the skills to manage organizations and gain an understanding in how business works in an increasingly complex world.

At Essex, we take philosophy back to its roots in everyday existential, social, and political problems. We embrace the relevance of philosophy to other forms of enquiry - political, cultural, legal, medical, aesthetic – and bring it to bear on urgent issues in public life, such the moral status of capitalism or public policy regarding mental health and end of life care.

With our BA Philosophy with Business Management, you’ll explore a range of subjects enabling you to develop the widest possible understanding of complex philosophical issues and challenge your way of thinking as you obtain a grounding in management.

During the course you’ll cover key areas including but not limited to:

  • Capitalism

  • Ethics

  • Political philosophy

  • Existentialism and Phenomenology

  • Human Resource Management

  • Organisations

  • Marketing
