You study the core of each discipline in the first two years, and in the final year you select modules from a variety of specialist modules in the two departments. Both economics and philosophy look at fundamental aspects of human society. The combination allows a deeper understanding of how societies work, and the course will provide a unique blend of knowledge from the two disciplines.
