Studying Economics and Philosophy at University of AberdeenÊ, you'll explore the microeconomics of business and society, macroeconomics of the world economy and economic problems in political, social and historical contexts, with a strong emphasis on applied learning. You will thrive in the dynamic, international environment of our Business School of 45 nationalities and be taught by experts including leading petroleum economist and government adviser Professor Alex Kemp and our health economists whose work influences Scottish and UK policy decisions on public health.

Philosophers attempt to answer questions such as: What is knowledge? What is the nature of truth? Why should we act morally? Philosophy is just as much the study of reasoning and argument as it is the application of thought to specific problems. What makes Philosophy at Aberdeen especially attractive is the breadth of courses, the user-friendly materials you will use and the experts who will teach you. In your first year alone you will study topics such as How Should One Live? Controversial Questions and Experience, Knowledge and Reality.

The knowledge and skills you will develop in economics, critical thinking, analysis and research from this subject combination will make you very attractive to employers across a range of sectors from business of all sizes to public sector, local and national government, enterprise organisations, media, advertising and marketing.
