Bachelor Programme
Philosophy, Politics and Economics
UCL's PPE introduces philosophy, politics and economics and the principles of social and political analysis in first year. Students then follow a politics-and-philosophy or politics-and-economics concentration with research methods training, and write a dissertation in one of the three disciplines in the final year. The programme has a strong policy and methods focus, and a separate Social Data Science stream is available. Entry is through UCAS (course code 4V86).
