Introduction
The Bachelor's degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) is an interdisciplinary program that integrates philosophy, political science, economics, sociology, history, and law to foster a comprehensive understanding of global dynamics. The program includes specializations in Artificial Intelligence, sustainability, and the protection of fundamental rights, equipping students with the tools to analyze and address contemporary challenges from diverse perspectives and methodological approaches.
Graduates of the PPE program have access to a wide range of career opportunities in international organizations, public authorities, and regulatory agencies at national, EU, and global levels. They are also well-suited for roles in public administration, public affairs offices, large corporations, and consulting firms. Additional pathways include positions in non-governmental and non-profit organizations, think tanks, lobbying groups, embassies, and communication departments, where they can serve as key intermediaries between public and private sectors.
Beyond professional expertise, the PPE program emphasizes the development of critical skills, including analytical thinking, argumentation, and ethical sensitivity. These qualities are essential for leaders who aspire to drive positive change in contemporary society.
