Philosophy, Politics, Ethics BA(Hons)

About

Philosophy is concerned with understanding and evaluating the world. Students on our degree examine today’s global challenges, from climate change, war and AI, to inequality, racism and colonialism.

Taught by experts and learning in small seminar groups, you will investigate the assumptions, beliefs and values that shape human behaviour and societies, gaining a critical understanding of the political and ethical issues facing our increasingly interconnected and divided world.

You will develop skills in public-speaking, group work, research, and critical analysis. You’ll learn how to think, read, and write with greater clarity and skill, and how to speak with greater authority and confidence.

Our PPE degree opens up many career opportunities in sectors including publishing, NGOs, civil service, teaching, law and media.

The degree in Philosophy, Politics and Ethics will develop your critical thinking and understanding of the modern world.
