Bachelor Programme
Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
Warwick's PPE is one of the largest and most international programmes of its kind in the UK, using philosophy, politics and economics together to understand issues such as climate change, poverty and international justice. All students take the same core first year across the three departments, with mathematics and statistics at intermediate or advanced level, then choose from six pathways before Year 2, either keeping all three subjects or focusing on two, and graduate with a BA or BSc depending on the pathway. Warwick plans curriculum changes for 2027 entry. Entry is through UCAS (course code L0V0, institution code W20).
