Structure and content

The PPE Master Programme is a rigorous path of training. You will study a number of courses that will provide you with a thorough Master level training that meets international standards in the core areas of philosophy and economics.

You will be trained in tackling problems with an interdisciplinary perspective. This will entail not only familiarity with the different disciplines but also being trained in the ability to reason, reflect, and put forward your arguments easily in all three disciplines. You will gain the skills for applying the specialist methods and theoretical frameworks from philosophy, politics and economics for studying problems that are relevant to all disciplines.
