Whatever you choose to do once you finish your degree, PPE at Sussex gives you the skills and insight to make a difference in the world.
At Sussex you study all three subjects for the first two years. You gain a thorough understanding of each of the three subjects, and in-depth knowledge of the two you choose to specialise in for your final year.
You learn from experts in all three departments who are carrying out original and innovative research in areas including global politics and international trade. You'll study alongside other PPE students, developing strong connections with the PPE student community, but you will also benefit from engaging in discussions with single-honours students during optional modules in each of the disciplines.
