Course Description
Are you interested in economics but also in other social sciences as well as philosophy? If you would like a solid grounding in economic science, but are equally interested in political science and philosophical approaches to understanding human behaviour, the BA Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) degree is an ideal choice to pursue your interests.
92% of economics students are satisfied with the BA Philosophy, Politics and Economics, overall (KIS 2012).
Our PPE degree programme has a compulsory economics core, while also allowing you to study modules in the School of Political Social and International Studies, and the School of Philosophy during each of the three years of your degree.
The PPE programme is as demanding as our BSc Economics and other degrees. The benefits are correspondingly substantial, since you learn to analyse a given economic, political or social problem using not only economic tools and concepts but also those from political science and philosophy. This allows a multifaceted approach which can provide new insights compared to one based on only a single social science discipline.
