Overview BA Politics, Philosophy and Economics offers the chance to study an interdisciplinary programme across three outstanding and distinctive disciplines. This four-year programme includes a year abroad either studying in Europe as part of the Erasmus scheme or at one of our international partner institutions elsewhere in the world. You'll have the opportunity to explore some of the major questions facing human society including war and peace, democracy, resource scarcity and distribution, the natural environment, faith and reason. Modules will address the philosophical, political and economic foundations of order and justice and interrogate the meaning and practice of the market economy on a global scale. You will also learn how government is constituted, how being and truth are deliberated and how goods, services and peoples are economically organised. As part of this degree you may choose to take part in the Exeter Politics Internship programme which provides valuable work experience in the world of politics, for example in a constituency office or at Westminster.

Politics, Philosophy and Economics is well regarded as good preparation for careers in business, finance, journalism and politics. The current Prime Minister and many past PMs have been PPE graduates. This degree will help you to develop a wide range of essential skills such as analytical problem solving, teamwork, research and organising and communicating information. Developing your skills and career prospects We provide a range of support to help you develop skills attractive to employers. You will be able to access a range of specific activities such as careers skills sessions and employer-led events, or seek bespoke advice and support from the Employability Officer based in your College. The University of Exeter's Employability and Graduate Development Service also organises a busy schedule of activities including careers fairs, skills workshops, and training events, and can advise on graduate opportunities and volunteering.
