About
The Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is designed for students who want to understand human communities and society. The program trains future leaders and professionals who wish to make a difference in all walks of life.
Students will learn to integrate knowledge by focusing on how society can either promote or thwart human flourishing. Philosophy will provide the concepts and skills to identify questions and problems and the ability to think through them clearly and creatively. Political studies will consider governance, leadership, and the importance of law and policy. Economics will train students to solve a range of problems through economic reasoning. Graduates with knowledge of these three disciplines will appreciate the central importance of the human person’s quest to lead a good life, working with others toward the common good.
The degree will also equip students to be attentive to the role of religion within society, and the importance of civil disagreement in the public square. All students will have the opportunity to undertake an internship during their studies.
