Bachelor in Philosophy, Politics, & Economics (PPE)
CUNEF Universidad’s Bachelor in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) is an interdisciplinary programme that combines strong foundations in Economics and Political Science with the logical and critical reasoning of Philosophy. It aims to shape professionals with a holistic, global vision, equipped to analyse and understand the complexities of today’s world and influence political, economic and social decision-making in national and international settings.
The programme carefully balances its three disciplines: Philosophy, which fosters reflection, critical thinking and solid argumentation; Economics, which provides the analytical tools to interpret markets and institutions through the lens of sustainability and efficiency; and Political Science, which enables an understanding of the dynamics of social actors and the formulation of public policy. With a distinctive focus on Humanities, the curriculum integrates cross-disciplinary courses on principles of mathematics, data analytics, leadership and institutional communication, offering a comprehensive education geared towards professional success.
Delivered entirely in English, the degree mirrors the model of top Anglo-Saxon universities where PPE is the gold standard for the education of political and academic elites. A defining feature of this programme is the integrated international mobility experience at prestigious partner institutions during the Fall term of the third year. Furthermore, students benefit from a unique collaboration with the Professorship of Exemplarity, which provides mentorship and fosters a space for reflection and debate on contemporary culture and society. This collaboration strengthens the programme’s focus on applied ethics, critical thinking, social responsibility and responsible leadership, adding a distinctive hallmark to the degree.
Students can complement their education with minors in areas such as International and European Law, Business and Finance or International Finance & Banking, broadening their knowledge of the global legal and economic landscape, global governance mechanisms and market dynamics.
