Philosophy, Politics and Economics

Philosophy, Politics and Economics ("PPE") is a degree which is one of the most famous and prestigious at the University of Oxford. In the past, this was a programme taken by many who seek a career in politics or public life - and quite a few who subsequently achieve it - but now also by those seeking a broader range of subjects for their first degree. It is now offered by several UK universities (such as Oxford, York and Durham) and also at University of Pennsylvania and Duke University in the US. It is still most strongly associated with the University of Oxford however, where famous PPE graduates include Harold Wilson, Bill Clinton, and Benazir Bhutto, amongst others.
