Course Summary

Bringing together three disciplines, this PPE degree provides you with skills in critical reasoning, analysis, and planning, as well as core insights across economics, politics, and moral philosophy. This will equip you with the knowledge and understanding needed to understand how human societies work, how they might be changed for the better, and how they might adapt in response to the global challenges that they face. Core modules will introduce you to key concepts and approaches in philosophy, economics and politics, plus enable you to develop the technical and mathematical abilities you’ll need to succeed in your future career or further study. We offer an impressive range of optional modules across the three subject areas, so you can tailor your degree to suit you. This means you could develop your understanding of subjects as wide-ranging as the ethics of life and death, UK macroeconomic policy, ancient philosophy, economic development or African politics. This diverse selection of modules, spanning continents and millennia, means you’ll graduate with a remarkable amount of knowledge – and also be equipped with the skills needed to become a future leader.
