What are you going to learn?
The Degree at Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), encompasses three of the most important disciplines for understanding and intervening in the world around us. It was first introduced at Oxford in 1920 and is now offered at some fifty prestigious universities.
The Degree in PPE trains the student to respond to the political and economic challenges facing the contemporary world, from a multidisciplinary perspective.
The Philosophy allows to form a critical reason, developing a logical argumentation and a rigorous judgment.
Politics analyzes the meaning and scope of public policies, financial aid to understand how society is articulated, the impact of institutions on it or specific questions such as why some countries face war and others do not.
The Economics delves into how contemporary society is articulated and the way in which resources are distributed in a country. The parallel study of these three areas enhances the understanding of each of them and allows for an integrated analysis and a complete diagnosis of today's world.
