The Bachelor in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) combines Economics and Political Science with the logical reasoning and critical analysis inherent to Philosophy. This interdisciplinary approach seeks to train professionals for any type of governmental or business organisation, to prepare them to interpret the socioeconomic, political and cultural environment and thus enable them to make decisions based on rigorous reasoning substantiated by formal logic and critical thinking. The specific courses in Philosophy, Economics and Politics, with a similar weight in the degree, are complemented with transversal courses to familiarise our graduates with the tools of quantitative and qualitative analysis in Humanities.
