PPE Humanities: Philosophy, Politics and Economics

This classic combination of Politics, Philosophy and Economics involves an academically rigorous grounding in all of these closely connected subjects, as well as the opportunity to specialise in one or more of them. Students not only follow a curriculum designed in consultation with all three participating academic disciplines, but also have the opportunity to participate in an annual PPE Humanities Colloquium and essay competition. After the PPE Humanities, depending on the courses they have chosen, students may study for Honours degrees in any of the three fields or in PPE. Graduates of the PPE have followed many careers, including work in commerce, government and non-governmental organisations.
