About this course

Our PPE degree explores many intersecting topics, such as how societies function, how political and economic decisions are made, and the ethical frameworks behind them. International students that have already submitted a UCAS application should apply via our Clearing System. 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.
