Interpret complex economic ideas and understand the basis of political organisations and policy making when you combine law with politics, philosophy and economics at UOW. You will examine popular national and international movements, systems of government and ethical forms of behaviour as you learn the political, ethical and economic perspectives needed to make a difference in our contemporary society.

The Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics provides rigorous training in three interconnected areas that shape the world around us. You will learn to understand the complex interactions between economic and political factors that affect policy and decision-making in contexts ranging from local communities to international organisations.

On completion of this double degree, you will be prepared to enter a career in the legal profession as well as a wide range of careers in government, business and community organisations – as leaders, innovators and problem solvers.

You'll benefit by learning from recognised and passionate leaders in their fields. You will learn core fundamentals across practical, theoretical and contextual law subjects in the first year of your double degree before deciding which major disciplines to focus on from your second year. In addition to your comprehensive legal education, you will develop skills in political understanding, critical thinking, and economic analysis that are essential for careers in politics and government, entrepreneurship, international development, public service, and many other areas.

You'll be immersed in practical, hands-on learning during your legal internship and capstone subject to meaningfully integrate your learning.

Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience, make meaningful professional connections and be provided with the opportunity to study abroad.
