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, among other things, 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. The unique module 'The Welsh Parliament / Senedd Cymru' 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.
