Ready to join the global political elite?
Is being Prime Minister in your masterplan?

Intellectually grapple with the forces at work where money and power converge with ethics: PPE brings together some of the most important approaches to understanding the world around us. Explore mega questions such as, ‘by what right do our rulers govern?’, ‘what conditions create poverty?’ and ‘how can we shape society to be more just?’
Choose PPE if you are enthralled by current affairs! This highly flexible summer course develops skills useful for a wide range of careers and is the perfect preparation for a PPE degree course at a top UK university. Check out our top recommendations for the best PPE summer school experience in Oxford, Cambridge and London.
