2. Description of the Programme
Politics, Philosophy and Economics with employment experience abroad enables you to study an inter-disciplinary programme of the social sciences and humanities across three outstanding and distinctive disciplines at Exeter. You will study how government is constituted, how being and truth are deliberated and how goods, services and peoples are economically organised. You will explore the philosophical, political and economic foundations of order and justice. You will interrogate the meaning and practice of the market economy on a global scale. You will examine the various forms of democracy through history. You will interrogate the questions of human society including war and peace, resource scarcity and distribution, the natural environment, faith and reason. You will take modules of study that introduce them to these big questions under the guidance of leading scholars in their fields. In your third year you will undertake a work-placement* and gain skills that equip you to work in the global employment market and to improve your knowledge of foreign cultures. You are encouraged to think about the intercultural competence and the employability skills that you acquire during their year abroad.
You will need to have gained an overall average mark for the year of 50% or above at Level 1 in order to participate in the work abroad element of the programme.
By your final year you will focus on the specific manifestations of these questions in modules on certain regions and themes of politics, on certain texts, issues and thinkers of philosophy, and on certain aspects and dimensions of the economy. You will also undertake a dissertation in their choice of one of the three disciplines.
*Please note that you will be required to identify and secure yourself a work placement or placements to undertake in your third year of study. You will need to have found this placement by the end of your second year of study.
When you do a work placement there are various costs that you need to consider. Not all of them will apply to every placement, but you should be aware of them and work out roughly what it will cost you before you begin:
Travel to and from work
Accommodation, if the placement is too far away from your address to travel to on a daily basis
Food
Additionally, for international placements:
Insurance
Flights/train/coach
visas
Some placement providers will be able to help you to cover some of these costs, and you should ask before starting if this is the case
We strongly encourage you to take a paid work abroad year.
3. Educational Aims of the Programme
1. To provide you with an excellent education across disciplines of politics, philosophy and economics, from core to specialist, in a supportive and responsive learning environment that is enriched by research.
2. To provide you with experience of working in a foreign employment market and the cultural experience of living abroad.
3. To enable you to understand and use the main concepts, approaches and theories of these disciplines; to analyse, interpret and evaluate philosophical ideas and political and economic behaviour, events and institutions; and to relate the academic study of politics, philosophy and economics to questions of public concern.
4. To develop your competence in discipline-specific, core academic and personal and key skills.
5. To offer you a wide range of choice, insofar as this choice is consistent with the coherence and intellectual rigour of the degree.
6. To equip you to be a questioning and productive member of society.

Your BA Politics, Philosophy and Economics with Employment Experience programme is a 4-year programme of study at Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) level 6 (as confirmed against the FHEQ). This programme is divided into four ‘Stages’. Each Stage is normally equivalent to an academic year.
