POLICY You will study law - not to become a lawyer but to become someone who can talk with lawyers on an equal footing and appreciate the transformative power of law reform. You will study politics, with an emphasis on international relations, so that you will understand the political challenges and opportunities of making the world a better place.
PHILOSOPHY You will study philosophy, with an emphasis on deep cultural knowledge, in order to understand and appreciate distinct worldviews, how they clash, how they work together, how they underpin what is most valuable and meaningful in everybody’s life.
ECONOMICS You will study economics and accounting so that you can appraise financial statements with an educated and informed eye and understand the practical economic consequences of policy and the potential of economic reform.
CAREERS In all these careers you will need knowledge of how to get things done and also knowledge of what is worth doing in the first place. A Policy, Philosophy and Economics degree equips you with this knowledge.
