Philosophy Politics and Economics
PPE is Philosophy, Politics and Economics. It is an interdisciplinary degree combining the study of all three of these subjects. Every university offers this in a slightly different way but it is quite common to study all three in your first year and then specialise in only two later on.
You can read the description about each individual subject to find out more about them.
