About Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Politics, Philosophy and Economics
A degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) will develop students' understanding of the contemporary world, including financial crises, human rights, environmentalism and cultural conflicts. PPE equips students with the skills and attributes required to be changemakers who, through making sense of the world, are well placed to take action to solve its problems. The multi-disciplinary approach of PPE has too often been the preserve of students from privileged backgrounds, but the University of Roehampton's aim is to enable a greater diversity of representation in those professions related to PPE - especially in the political system - to the benefit of all.
Philosophy at the University of Roehampton is distinctive in its commitment to practical philosophy. Students will be asked to use their philosophical knowledge to address real world problems. The programme provides the space to explore, for example, the ethics of the environment and animal rights, problems of economic inequality and unjust laws, and the nature of gender, race and class. The use of authentic assessments allows students to demonstrate more traditional philosophical skills of critical thinking and analytical argument, using multiple forms of media, and presenting material for a public audience.
The economics modules provide in-depth knowledge of organisations and their environments, including their relationships to society. The economics strand addresses areas such as managing people, business organisations within a global context, and labour economics. Additionally, students will learn how businesses can operate effectively in a multicultural environment. Students will be able to solve business problems ethically and will acquire a sound understanding of the wider economy.
This course offers all students the option of a one-year paid work placement, to boost their employability even further. If students choose this route, they will take the placement following year two of their course, and then return to complete their degree.
