The BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) at Loughborough University is distinct for two reasons:

• First, it is designed as a thoroughly interdisciplinary degree in which students are encouraged to compare, contrast and synthesise the concepts, methods and perspectives of political science, philosophy and economics, rather than treating them separately.
• Second, the problem-based approach to learning exercised on this course encourages students to learn through the application of concepts and methods to pressing contemporary problems.
