The Bachelor of Arts specialising in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at the University of Pretoria is a three-year interdisciplinary degree in the Faculty of Humanities modelled on the prestigious Oxford PPE degree, combining three disciplines that together provide a powerful framework for understanding and influencing public affairs, governance, and economic policy. Students develop rigorous analytical and argumentation skills through philosophy, an understanding of political institutions, ideologies, and governance through politics, and the economic principles that underpin policy and resource allocation decisions. The PPE degree produces graduates who think critically across disciplines and are equipped for leadership roles in government, policy, business, academia, and international organisations.
