Course summary

Our Politics, Philosophy and Law (PPL) LLB degree is the first course of its kind in the UK. Co-taught by The Dickson Poon School of Law, the Department of Political Economy and the Department of Philosophy, this four-year programme offers students the unique opportunity to take modules from these three different disciplines while simultaneously achieving a law degree. Students will have access to the module catalogue from all three departments. In addition to receiving a comprehensive legal training, PPL students will gain knowledge of contemporary legal, political, and philosophical theory to gain insight into how these disciplines connect with and inform one another.
