Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics

Adelaide University

Study the same degree as Christopher Hitchens, Malala Yousafzai and multiple Australian Prime Ministers. Where do new innovations spring from? Why haven’t ongoing problems been solved? Why are our societies set up the way they are, and how can we create change when the status quo feels so inevitable? Studying philosophy, politics and economics will give you an interdisciplinary understanding of three key areas that influence our past, present and future. Refine your creative problem-solving skills and learn how to think critically. Get motivated to tackle contemporary problems and global challenges. Become an informed and empowered leader capable of driving social, political and economic change. Adelaide University’s Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is for big-picture intellects. You’ll analyse real-world problems and wrestle with complex questions. You’ll study theories from each area and learn how they apply in everyday situations. Explore politics and the systems that influence it. Debate morality, freedom and social justice. Develop applied skills in data analytics. Learn how to use critical analysis and rationale to deliver evidence-based policy. You’ll get a taste of your future career with an industry internship in your third year. This is a valuable opportunity to network, understand how your insights apply in real work environments, and potentially benefit from mentor opportunities. You’ll graduate with analytical, communication and presentation skills favoured by leaders. Your skillset will be in demand across government, the public sector, NGOs, business and politics.
