Philosophy, Politics and Economics: University of Oxford

Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)

PPE brings together some of the most important approaches to understanding the social and human world around us, developing skills useful for a whole range of future careers and activities.

Studying philosophy, you will develop analytical rigour and the ability to criticise and reason logically, and be able to apply these skills to questions concerning how we acquire knowledge or how we make ethical judgements.

The study of politics will acquaint you with the institutions that make crucial decisions which govern our lives as members of nations, states and other political groupings.

An appreciation of economics and the general workings of the economy has become increasingly necessary to make sense of governmental policy-making, the conduct of businesses and the enormous changes in economic systems occurring throughout the world.

PPE at Oxford

All three branches of PPE at Oxford have an international reputation, supported by more than 200 teachers and scholars of the highest calibre. You will also be able to attend lectures given by the many distinguished visitors to Oxford each year.
