Notes
Philosophy and politics complements study in commerce and economics. To understand fully the challenges of modern society requires complementary disciplinary study and analysis. Philosophy helps in reasoning logically and in considering the ethical implications of decisions and policies. Politics assists in understanding how government and institutions affect decision-making and public policy.
To complete the philosophy and politics major in the Bachelor of Economics, students must complete the following units from the Faculty of Arts:
(a.) four units from the philosophy area of study (24 points)
(b.) four units from the politics area of study (24 points)
This must include two units (12 points) at level one and one unit (six points) at each of second and third-year levels from both philosophy and politics.
