Adelaide University

Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics

Why Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics?

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.
