Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
Oxford Brookes UniversityHeadington, United Kingdom
Course overview
Ready to change the world for the better? Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Oxford Brookes is designed for socially conscious students from all backgrounds who want to understand, challenge and reshape society’s most pressing injustices. We will give you the tools to navigate the complexities of that world - to examine the power relations, economics relations and ideas that create and sustain it - while building your confidence with skills training, practical assessments and experiential learning.
You’ll develop analytical skills in economics, AI and research, deepen your understanding of ethics, social justice and public policy, and gain real-world insight through placements, projects and internships - connecting theory with practical, career-ready experience. PPE at Oxford Brookes allows you to focus on all three subjects or tailor your studies to your interests, while our supportive, inclusive community helps you build confidence and prepare for a career with impact locally, nationally or globally.
