Overview

Does globalization undermine social solidarity? Does populism threaten our democracies? How do we encourage corporate social responsibility? And how can we rise to the challenge of climate change?
Our world today faces complex challenges that cannot be tackled by one discipline alone. We need an approach that cuts across boundaries. Our selective one-year Master's programme in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) offers this interdisciplinary approach. The programme is aimed at ambitious students with a wide range of interests who want to explore the philosophical dimensions of political and economic issues and develop and apply critical thinking tools.The programme will equip you with the central theoretical and methodological tools from PPE that allow you to understand and critically examine complex problems ranging from global poverty to the financial crisis. You will learn to analyze the political and economic complexities of organizational structures. You will see what is at stake in theories of democracy, collective decision‐making, rational choice, social inequality and economic growth, learning how to apply theoretical insights to concrete policy problems locally and globally.View the PPE prospectus for information about the content of the programme.
