Course summary
Join one of the longest running Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) courses in the UK. You’ll not be trained to merely absorb information but to critically analyse it. You’ll learn to debate, to influence and to lead. Spend time in Westminster on a politics-related placement and choose to head abroad for a trimester to experience education and cultures in a different country. You’ll learn through lectures, small groups and one-to-one time with your supervisor, and, from your second year, will be free to choose options that interest you from our extensive curriculum. In Westminster, our graduates are affectionately known as ‘the Hull Mafia’ because there are so many of them. Why study at Hull?
- Westminster placement: Benefit from exclusive seminars presented by senior parliamentary officials all while placed with an MP or Peer in the heart of British government
- Great career prospects: 100% of graduates are in work or further study 15 months after leaving
