BA (Hons) Politics, Philosophy and Economics | Part-time

About your course The BA (Hons) Politics, Philosophy and Economics degree at Liverpool John Moores University will provide you with comprehensive knowledge of each discipline and how they affect our day-to-day lives If you have a curious mind about the world in which we live in, how politics affects your life and how society works, then this degree is for you. A degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (better known as PPE) will give you a comprehensive understanding of the three disciplines. This degree will encourage you to unpick the world we live in by grounding you in the theories, concepts and methods while using real-world case studies. We want you to develop informed opinions and decide how you wish to engage with the world. We recognise that people interested in these topics are not always able to dedicate three years full-time to their studies. Whether you have family or work commitments or need additional time to develop your skills and assimilate knowledge, the part-time degree is a great option for you. Delivered part-time over five years, this degree allows you to continue your existing lives whilst completing an undergraduate degree. During the degree studies, we will aim to give you the skills and knowledge to reflect critically on the world. We will do this by introducing and combining theories, concepts and insights from across the three disciplines. In addition, we test out these arguments by using real-world case studies. Our teaching is all driven by unique research conducted by our academic team. You will receive an internationally-relevant education, based on geographical and thematic oriented modules and plenty of opportunities to study abroad. We will prepare you for career employment by developing your work-based skills, offering internships and opportunities to network with practitioners and employers. You will also be encouraged to undertake a year-long work placement during your studies. You will be invited to fieldtrips, you will meet experts, and receive opportunities to learn outside the classroom. We currently take all students to Edinburgh and Northern Ireland, and have a range of specialist trips to undertake activities such as Model NATO simulation exercise.
