Philosophy, Politics, and Economics

Philosophy, Politics, and Economics is a Bachelor program taught at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (four-year honours degree programme) options.

The Bachelor of Social Sciences in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) is a four-year honours degree programme that integrates multiple disciplinary approaches to study society, politics, the economy, and ethics. Students deep dive into two or three chosen disciplines through Major requirements in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, plus Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) and Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDEs).

The curriculum uses a bipartite or tripartite structure for specialisation in two or three disciplines, supported by an interdisciplinary final-year project under the guidance of co-supervisors from different departments. Students complete a compulsory internship (local or overseas) and also take a one-semester overseas exchange study. The Major includes core courses such as Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Philosophy, Politics, and Economics foundation modules.
