Debate the principles that govern a prosperous society and hone your analytical skills against pressing political crises.<br/><br/>From tax on tea to the global distribution of wealth, everything economic is also political. By studying these subjects together you will gain a broader appreciation for the intersections of wealth and power, poverty and political unrest. Youll be challenged by world-class academics to critically assess both fundamental political structures and economic theories and to analyse what happens where these meet. Youll learn with a diverse and international student body and with opportunities to study abroad you can develop a truly global perspective. Our active Club of Politics, Economics and Philosophy (PEP) encourages debate beyond the classroom, and employers value the skills you will develop in thinking across boundaries and engaging critically with a range of material.
