Course overview

Pursue your passions and maximise your career options with our combined bachelor's degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and Commerce. You'll graduate with two degrees in just four years, with a Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics where you will take the Philosophy, Politics and Economics (Extended Major), and a Bachelor of Commerce where you'll choose a major from a wide range of options.

Why study this course?

In a competitive employment market, you will maximise your career options by developing a thorough grounding and interdisciplinary view of philosophy, politics and economics along with strong business and commercial skills. You will graduate with two qualifications, having cut two years off the time it takes you to study two degrees. If you decide either degree isn’t right for you, you can exit one and complete the other.

What will I learn?

UWA’s Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is a challenging and rigorous course of study that will equip you to engage with important social issues – climate change, healthcare, inequality, political participation, criminal justice and more – from a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective.

Combine this with a Bachelor of Commerce where you will develop your analytical, communication and problem-solving skills, providing you with a global perspective on business and preparing you to pursue a career within the business, government or not-for-profit sectors.
