One of the main things that the PPE gave me was the interest in keeping abreast of political and economic current affairs. The ability to apply economic knowledge to current problems and to analyze them critically has been key to the development job I have had so far.

My work at Repsol has allowed me to learn more about the Oil&Gas sector, an industry in continuous development development and increasingly committed to the environment. In this sense, I would like to be able to guide large international companies on their way towards a socially committed future. In addition to an economic vision, we must take into account the social and ethical vision committed to the future.

That they are ambitious and curious, that they do not miss all the opportunities that the University offers and that they do not close themselves to any field. All companies are looking for professionals with the profile of a graduate in PPE: that they do not put limits on their professional degree program and find out how far they can go.
