In the second and third years, you can either study all three disciplines - politics, philosophy and economics - or specialize in two of these areas. You'll have the flexibility to choose from electives across the University, building a degree that's tailored to your specific interests. Alongside lectures, you'll attend policy-focused economics seminars and specialized tutorial sessions and activities.
