Course summary

Studying Economics, Psychology and Philosophy (EPP) offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of three interconnected subjects. Starting from an in depth study of human nature, you will consider the cognitive and contextual factors that shape the decision-making of both people and groups, and how we can help people make better decisions. This exciting new course is built on the strength of existing research connections between the four departments that contribute to it: the departments of Economics, Psychology, and Philosophy, and Warwick Business School (specifically the Behavioural Science Group). The current attention that this interdisciplinary field of research, particularly the area of Behavioural Science and Behavioural Economics, receives across academia, government and the private sector makes this course an excellent preparation for a wide range of careers within local government, public health, media, charities and NGOs, marketing and finance. You will have a choice of interesting potential specialisms and pathways through your course so that you can explore the issues that interest you the most, and you will be able to graduate with either a BA or a BSc.
