Overview
Modeled on the Oxford PPE, this Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) from Charles University lets you explore foundations of domestic and international politics and economics,all underpinned by philosophical rigour. Courses are designed to foster critical thinking about social developments in the world and sensitivity to ethical challenges in political decision-making in the environment marked by cultural diversity and economic inequality.
Key facts
You will learn to analyse complex social, political and economic problems in an interdisciplinary manner and solve them from complementary perspectives. Since all compulsory courses have to be taken during the first three semesters of the program, from the fourth semester onwards you can choose one of three available study tracks: Politics & Philosophy, Economics & Politics or Philosophy & Economics.
This will determine which elective courses you are going to take in the remaining semesters, and what will be the focus of your BA thesis. If you plan to choose a specialisation which includes Economics, you should have an excellent background in high-school mathematics.
Thanks to its interdisciplinary character, PPE will equip you with diverse tools of analysis of social phenomena and exceptional problem solving abilities. These skills are invaluable for future politicians, diplomats, public servants, local government officials, researchers, policy analysts, journalists, NGO activists, but also financiers, industrialists or economic consultants, and a range of other careers.
You will be able to draw connections among political, economic, and cultural factors that shape the complex social realities of our increasingly globalised and diverse world. You can also continue in your studies in various Master’s programs.
