Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) with Integrated International Foundation Programme Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) or Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BA/BSc (H)

This integrated four-year route combines Year 0 of the International Foundation Programme with Warwick's degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). The International Foundation Programme develops your understanding of how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions, and how these choices shape markets, economies, and societies. You will explore key economic theories and models, learning how they are used to analyse and address real-world challenges such as inflation, growth and sustainability.

Through a blend of theory, application, and quantitative analysis, you will build the mathematical, statistical, and critical thinking skills essential for success in university-level Economics. Alongside your subject-specific studies, you will develop your academic communication and research abilities, enabling you to present complex ideas clearly and effectively. By the end of this first year, students will have developed the academic foundations and be well prepared to progress Year 1 of Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE).

Some of the most pressing problems of today such as climate change, the refugee crisis, poverty, and international justice are best understood by taking up different perspectives. PPE at Warwick offers exciting opportunities for excellent students to explore these important issues, drawing on insights from philosophy, politics and economics.

PPE is an ideal choice if you are fascinated by current affairs and want to gain a broad and rounded understanding of the world around you. Deepen your understanding of why and how governing institutions and big businesses make decisions, how the consequences of these actions influence our world and impact on our futures, and what would make for a better and more just society.

After building solid foundations in each of the three subjects in your first year, you then have the flexibility to tailor your module choices to suit your own interests. This allows you to graduate with either a BA or a BSc.

Your enthusiasm for the three interconnected disciplines will be rewarded with teaching from excellent lecturers who are equally enthusiastic about their topics. Our world-leading researchers will teach you a diverse range of modules from within our three large and highly-ranked departments.

We offer one of the largest and most international PPE programmes in the UK. You will learn alongside students from many backgrounds and cultures. You can share different insights and perspectives on the topics you cover at the intersections of the three subjects.
