The Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) degree is based on the view that, to understand public phenomena, one must approach them from several disciplinary directions. This degree illuminates how these three areas complement one another:
  • Politics acquaints students with the institutions and processes that produce decisions governing our lives,
  • Philosophy develops analytical rigour, the ability to reason logically, critically and ethically,
  • Economics helps in understanding government policy and the choices facing businesses, governments and society.


Although practicing politics, philosophy, or economics does not usually require professional accreditations, many of our staff and students are members of many of the key professional associations in these subject areas. This includes the Political Studies Association, the British Philosophical Association, the Political Studies Association of Ireland, The Association for Social and Political Philosophy, the American Political Science Association, and the Royal Economic Society.
