Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) is a multidisciplinary programme that explores many intersecting topics, such as how societies function, how political and economic decisions are made, and the ethical frameworks behind them. It also covers more abstract areas, such as the nature of justice and knowledge.
This degree blends three distinct but interrelated disciplines:
As a PPE student, you will learn to analyse complex problems from multiple angles, debate ideas rigorously, and to communicate with clarity and precision. The degree is intellectually demanding, rewarding, and enables you to develop a variety of skills and abilities, while providing you with a unique perspective on a wide range of practical and theoretical issues and debates.
This degree blends three distinct but interrelated disciplines:
- Philosophy sharpens your critical thinking and ethical reasoning. You will tackle questions about morality, justice, logic, truth and reality.
- Politics examines power, governance and public policy. It covers political theory, international relations, and the workings of institutions and groups such as governments, political parties and the United Nations.
- Economics focuses on how resources are allocated, how markets operate, and how policies affect wealth and welfare. It includes both micro and macroeconomic theory, often with quantitative analysis.
