Are you fascinated by social issues? Are you convinced that these challenges can only be solved by combining knowledge and insights from various fields of science?

To solve the biggest issues facing our world, we need experts who are able to look at social issues from different perspectives. As a PPE-student, that is exactly what you will provide. We offer a comprehensive and intensive programme for students eager to find solutions to the world's most pressing problems. This study considers political and economic issues from four different perspectives: philosophy, politics, economics and history. The addition of a historical dimension to PPE is something you will only find in Utrecht and nowhere else in the world, where we are convinced that understanding the past will help us make better choices for the future. As well as gaining thorough knowledge of each of these four fields, you will also be trained to combine them to address the world’s most challenging problems. We believe that this is the best approach to designing complete and effective solutions.
