Course summary

The Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) degree is based on the view that, to understand public phenomena, one must approach them from several disciplinary directions. This degree illuminates how these three areas complement one another:
• Politics acquaints students with the institutions and processes that produce decisions governing our lives,
• Philosophy develops analytical rigour, the ability to reason logically, critically and ethically,
• Economics helps in understanding government policy and the choices facing businesses, governments and society.Global OpportunitiesQUB students, uniquely in the UK, still have the opportunity to spend part of the course studying in other European universities, through our Erasmus programme. There are also opportunities to study at partner institutions in the USA and Canada.
