2.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law, and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Sciences (Honours) - Philosophy and Economics

Program Description

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol.

The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities.

This course allows students to combine two historically interlinked disciplines to develop a breadth of skills across both economics and philosophy.

The economics part of the course is technically rigorous and will build analytical skills with mandatory units in macro- and microeconomics, mathematics, statistics and econometrics (the application of statistical methods to data to estimate economic models). This is complemented by units in philosophy which will equip students with skills in textual analysis, written and verbal expression, logic and critical thinking.

As students progress through their degree they will be able to take an increasing number of optional units to specialise in the areas of the disciplines that interest them most.

Previous economics options have included History of Economic Thought; Environmental Economics; and Current Economic Problems. Previous philosophy options have included Philosophy of Psychology; Evil, Deviance and Crime; and Classical Chinese Philosophy.
