Course overview

All important social issues — climate change, healthcare, inequality, political participation, criminal justice, and much more — have philosophical, political, and economic dimensions. UWA's Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is a challenging and rigorous course of study that equips you with the skills to engage with these issues from a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective.

Why study this degree at UWA:

  • Learn from leading experts in all three disciplines

You'll learn to

  • address problems that have political, philosophical, and economic dimensions (e.g. inequality, criminal justice, climate change), learning to think about complex social issues in an interdisciplinary manner
  • explore how insights from each of the three disciplines bear upon issues in the others
  • utilise invaluable critical-thinking and analytical skills, and apply them in a variety of contexts
