PHILOSOPHY, POLITICS AND ECONOMICS SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) has long been regarded as the perfect preparation for a range of careers in public life. Through engaging in philosophy, politics and economics, you will develop unique insights into contemporary social issues, such as justice, power, equality and identity.
Foundation Year available – see pages 58-63 for full details Global Opportunities available † Work Placement or Internship Opportunities available International Students foundation programme available
The PPE degree covers core issues in the three subjects, each of which provides a distinct skill set. However, the programme is structured so that you can specialise in the area(s) you are most interested in. Our programme also explores the intersections of the three subjects, for example philosophical studies of economic justice, and political studies of economic and social development. You will also be able to study moral and political philosophy, history of political thought, economic history, British politics and public policy, globalisation, micro- and macro- economics, econometrics, and environmental and resource economics. There is a placement opportunity, although not guaranteed, with our unique module 'The Welsh Parliament / Senedd Cymru' which includes a competitive, supervised placement with a Member of the Senedd / Welsh Parliament, allowing you to learn about policy-making in Wales in both theory and practice.
