Politics, Philosophy and Economics and Arts - A2013
This double degree combines the deep focus of the Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy (PPE) and Economics and the flexibility of the Bachelor of Arts. The PPE is an elite program designed for deep thinkers who want to have a real impact. By studying at the creative intersection between three disciplines Politics and governance, Philosophy and Economic analysis, you’ll learn how to transform big ideas into tangible results.
The Bachelor of Arts is your comprehensive gateway to a wide range of fascinating and rewarding areas of study across the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Designed to give you maximum flexibility and choice, this course opens the doors to deeply enriching experiences, including local and international internships, professional engagements and entrepreneurial opportunities. At end of first year, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in the Global Immersion Guarantee (GIG), a funded overseas experience to either India, Indonesia, Italy, China or Malaysia.
The BPPE has a unique Industry Advisory Board consisting of all Monash University global alumni from across government and corporate sectors. The Advisory Board brings real-world knowledge, insight and advice to connect theory and learning with what industry needs so our students graduate with career ready skills. Members include Dr Ian MacFarlane AC (6th Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia), Prof Allan Fels AO (inaugural Chair of the ACCC), Dewi Wahab (Indonesian Ambassador to Denmark), Dr Waleed Aly (Broadcaster), and many more.
