Course summary
Study philosophy, politics and economics at LSE – internationally renowned in all three subjects. Gain real-world experience on an external client project.
What are the advantages of democratic institutions? Should we have limits on migration? What are the moral pros and cons of our financial markets? These are just some of the challenging questions you’ll address on this BSc Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE).
You’ll look at fundamental philosophical questions, anaylse the way individuals and groups define political ideas, and look at economic challenges and change.
