| What it is | This program teaches you how economies work and how to manage money and investments at personal, business, and government levels. Unlike a straight economics program, it combines both fields so you study market behaviour alongside practical financial analysis and decision-making. It suits people who want to understand how money moves through the world and are interested in applying that knowledge to real careers in banking, policy, or corporate finance. | You study philosophy, politics, and current social issues together rather than in separate programs. This interdisciplinary approach lets you examine ethical problems — like inequality, justice, and policy — from multiple angles at once. It suits people who want to think deeply about society's problems and aren't sure whether philosophy, political science, or social studies fits them best. | You study how people and societies should organize themselves, and what makes choices right or wrong. Ethics and political philosophy blend thinking about moral principles with questions about power, justice, law, and governance. This program suits students who want to understand the foundations of politics and ethics through careful argument and debate rather than through policy work or management training. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
