Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - Philosophy, Politics and Economics with a Placement Year

Students will learn how to analyse problems by thinking creatively from multiple directions, using tools and concepts from economics, political science and philosophy. Taught by UEA’s field-leading researchers, students will understand the economic and political context of contemporary global issues. At the same time, they will broaden their horizons by addressing the underlying philosophical questions those issues pose. 

The Philosophy, Politics and Economics with a Year Abroad course combines the theoretical with the hands-on and practical, equipping students with excellent research, communication and decision-making skills that they can use in a wide range of careers, from economic analysis, policy advising, and think tanks, to working for international organisations, the Civil Service, or in banking and finance. 

On this course, students normally spend 9-12 months of their third year in a placement, gaining invaluable work experience and employability skills in a relevant area of their choice.
