Liberal Arts: Philosophy, Politics and Economics Major

In an increasingly but unevenly interdependent world, analyses of normative claims (philosophy), power constellations (politics), and efficient allocation of resources (economics) must be brought together in order to achieve a sufficiently profound grasp of global political processes. While inspired by the long-established and highly successful PPE degree offered at the University of Oxford, AUP’s major sets itself apart with an integrated approach, so that courses across the three disciplines mutually reinforce each other. We will help you establish a solid academic foundation, with introductions to the main concepts and theories within philosophy, politics, and economics, and discuss what their respective merits and limits are.
