Adelaide University's Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is for big-picture intellects. You'll analyse real-world problems and wrestle with complex questions. What is justice? Is morality subjective or objective? Should economic policies prioritise growth or sustainability? You'll study theories from each area and learn how they apply in everyday situations. Explore politics and the systems that influence it. Debate morality, freedom and social justice. Develop applied skills in data analytics. Learn how to use critical analysis and rationale to deliver evidence-based policy. You'll get a taste of your future career with an industry internship in your third year. This is a valuable opportunity to network, understand how your insights apply in real work environments, and potentially benefit from mentor opportunities.
