Learn from internationally respected experts from across three departments, build the understanding and analytical skills valued by top employers and become an agent of change.<br/><br/>The BSc PPE programme will enable you to focus more of your degree on the discipline of Economics: youll have the scope to develop your technical skills with a view to real-world economic applications and to dig deep into the economic decision-making of both individuals and organisations.<br/>Understand the forces at work where power and money intersect with ideals. Grapple with the problems that shape society, explore the theory behind policy, and question the morality of competing systems of government. By what right do our rulers govern? What conditions create poverty, and how does wealth interact with political unrest? Our flexible course lets you tailor your degree to your strengths. Youll learn with a diverse and international student body. Our active Club of Politics, Economics and Philosophy (PEP) encourages debate beyond the classroom, and with opportunities to study abroad you can develop a truly global perspective. We also offer Philosophy, Politics and Economics (BA).
