PPE provides a broad and deep understanding of how a society works, and indeed how international society works. It examines the complex economic and political forces in play, the problems of measuring and assessing the health of society, and the principles of justice that should guide political decision-making to improve society. PPE will teach students how to read beyond media headlines, and where to find more information about the hot policy questions of the day, in national and international contexts. 

The PPE provides a thorough grounding in all three disciplines that are core to the social sciences. The program is quite structured at first, but allows more choice and more specialization with each successive year. This programme provides both a well-rounded education in philosophy, politics and economics, and every opportunity for students to determine for themselves which subject or combination of subjects they would like to specialize in.
