Course summary

Studying a Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree allows you to explore global power and influence, bringing together the critical methods of understanding the social and human world we inhabit. You will develop a broad perspective encompassing moral and political philosophy, ethics, justice and society, British politics and public policy, political economy and globalisation, as well as econometrics and European economic migration.Teaching is delivered by specialist academics and members of parliament, while the competitive option of an internship at the Senedd for Wales in Cardiff may see you working closely with assembly ministers.This intellectually demanding four-year degree helps to provide graduates with a wealth of inspiring career opportunities thanks to numerous transferable skills which are highly valued by employers.Politics at Swansea is ranked in the Top-10 for teaching experience (Times and Sunday Times 2018) Top-20 in the Guardian University Guide 2018 and Top-20 for career prospects (Guardian University Guide 2018). Some 91% of graduates from this subject area are employed or in further study 6 months after graduating (Destination of Leavers from HE survey 2015) and 74% of our students achieved a 1st class or 2.1 honours degree in 2017/18.Your early studies will concentrate on fundamental questions of philosophy, micro-economics, and politics and the people.

Later studies are shaped by modules around your specific interests, and a substantial dissertation project. A number of work placement programmes are available to help you prepare for graduate life.Students typically develop oral and writing skills through presenting ideas in different formats, supported by strong research and rigorous analysis. Assessment is conducted through essays, coursework, examination, presentations and a dissertation.Teaching is informed by a vibrant and supportive research environment that unites academics, postgraduates and visiting scholars around shared subject matter and international impact."Studying PPE at Swansea has been an amazing experience. The subject matter is diverse and interesting and whilst the workload can be heavy at times, the different perspective each subject teaches is invaluable. The three subjects interact and combine to give a deeper and more complete understanding of issues. The National Assembly internship option is unique to Swansea and absolutely priceless for any student considering a career in politics." – Joe Wilson.Graduates have advanced to careers in sectors such as education, politics, media and humanitarian services.
