Economics / Philosophy, MA (Hons)

In the study of economics, individuals and societies learn to make informed decisions about the allocation of scarce resources, the production of goods, and their distribution. This process involves evaluating costs, benefits, risks, and broader impacts on others. Students will explore core principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, with opportunities to engage in specialized areas such as government policy, developing economies, business economics, and international trade and finance.Philosophy entails a systematic approach to addressing profound questions about knowledge, life, morality, science, and human nature through reasoned argument. The program includes student reading parties, often held in the Highlands, and supports a thriving undergraduate Philosophy Society.
