About this course

Politics, philosophy, and economics is one of the most celebrated degree combinations in British higher education, bringing together three disciplines that between them provide an extraordinary set of tools for understanding how societies are organised, how they make collective decisions, and what values should guide those decisions. Politics examines the institutions and processes of governance, the dynamics of political behaviour, and the comparative analysis of different political systems. Philosophy develops rigorous analytical thinking and engages with fundamental questions about ethics, justice, knowledge, and reason. Economics provides quantitative and theoretical frameworks for understanding how resources are allocated and how markets and governments shape prosperity and welfare. At York St John University, this four-year full-time programme includes a placement year, a year abr
