Political, Economic and Legal Philosophy (PELP)

What makes the PELP study programme unique is its interdisciplinary nature. Combining theory with practice, issues concerning politics, economics and law are addressed and scrutinised from a philosophical angle. This study programme can also be taken wholly in English, as well as offered as a double degree in cooperation with Ruhr University Bochum.In Graz, students have a wide range of courses to choose from, particularly on democracy and climate justice, while Bochum gives them the opportunity to specialise in moral and market-related issues. The focus is always on devising problem-solving strategies founded on norms.As a graduate, you will be able to work in administration, politics, business, civil society and education. Potential career paths include teaching and research at (non-)university institutions, in administration and the public sector, in NGOs, in political parties and associations, at private companies, in the media or in political, ethical or general consulting.
