This is complemented by units in philosophy which will equip you with skills in textual analysis, written and verbal expression, logic and critical thinking.As you progress through your degree you will be able to take an increasing number of optional units to specialise in the areas of the disciplines that interest you most.Previous economics options have included History of Economic Thought; Environmental Economics; and Current Economic Problems. Previous philosophy options have included Philosophy of Psychology; Evil, Deviance and Crime; and Classical Chinese Philosophy.
