Economics, Psychology and Philosophy (EPP) with Integrated International Foundation Programme Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) or Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BA/BSc (H)

This integrated four-year route combines Year 0 of the International Foundation Programme with Warwick's degree in Economics, Psychology and Philosophy. The International Foundation Programme develops your understanding of how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions, and how these choices shape markets, economies, and societies. You will explore key economic theories and models, learning how they are used to analyse and address real-world challenges such as inflation, growth and sustainability.

Through a blend of theory, application, and quantitative analysis, you will build the mathematical, statistical, and critical thinking skills essential for success in university-level Economics. Alongside your subject-specific studies, you will develop your academic communication and research abilities, enabling you to present complex ideas clearly and effectively. By the end of this first year, students will have developed the academic foundations and be well prepared to progress Year 1 of the Economics, Psychology and Philosophy (EPP) degree.

Studying Economics, Psychology and Philosophy (EPP) offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of three interconnected subjects. Starting from an in-depth study of human nature, you will consider the cognitive and contextual factors that shape the decision-making of both people and groups, and how we can help people make better decisions.

This exciting and unique course is built on the strength of existing research connections between the four departments that contribute to it: the departments of Economics, Psychology, Philosophy, and Warwick Business School (specifically the Behavioural Science Group).

The current attention that this interdisciplinary field of research, particularly the area of Behavioural Science and Behavioural Economics, receives across academia, government and the private sector makes this course an excellent preparation for a wide range of careers within local government, public health, media, charities and NGOs, marketing, and finance.

You will have a choice of interesting potential specialisms and pathways through your course so that you can explore the issues that interest you the most, and you will be able to graduate with either a BA or a BSc.
