Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences - Philosophy, Political Science, and Economics

About

A Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences with a focus on Philosophy, Political Science, and Economics (PPE) is an interdisciplinary degree that develops critical thinking and analytical skills through the integrated study of these three fields. Graduates are prepared for careers in areas such as public policy, diplomacy, economics, journalism, and business management due to their ability to analyze complex issues from multiple perspectives. The program's strength lies in how these disciplines complement each other, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of social, economic, and political phenomena. You’ll look at fundamental philosophical questions, anaylse the way individuals and groups define political ideas, and look at economic challenges and change. Unlike most other PPE degree programmes, our students study all three subjects for the first three years. Final-year PPE students also complete independent research and work with external organisations on our innovative Capstone course. A thorough understanding in political science, philosophy, and economics helps students to analyze and evaluate information quickly.Our program trains students to address social, political, ethical, and economic policy issues seen globally. The program aims to broadly educate students in all three areas and later allow them focus on whichever of the three with propel them farther down their path to success. All of these skills and abilities will prepare our graduates for positions in international business, global nonprofits, public service, or public policy. Students will develop an appreciation of theoretical insights in philosophy, political science and economics. Students will integrate these insights in their research and writing of capstone project.
