This course is a good place to learn how “the big games in the world are played” (however don’t expect your tutors to teach you that, they give you the foundation - you build upon it). Since the course covers lots of different topics in 2 gigantic fields of studies, you’re very unlikely to study some unnecessary stuff (maybe except basic theory - but that’s a crucial aspect so don’t neglect it.) Take into account that if you're more about economics than politics, you might find the course too theoretical or even philosophical so if you see yourself as a practical guy/girl have a good look at Economics BA/BSc. At the same time, if your main focus is politics but you also want to expand your expertise in the economics field then you might find that the course contains too complicated Maths modules so check out PPE as well. Overall, if you find the modules provided on the uni website appealing - that is a good place to study at. And career is, well, promising. read more

When you consider that it's £9000 a year we all know it's a rip off however I suppose you're paying for all the facilities that come with the University such as the brand new diamond building which reportedly cost £90 million or something ridiculous. Aside from that the quality of teaching is good but it depends on what lecturers you get however all of whom obviously know their subject back to front. Content in the course has been interesting despite the constant struggle as a result of the lack of communication between the two departments but I guess that's just what happens when you do a dual honours degree. You are given a personal tutor if you need them however I have not needed mine thus far. At the end of the day the point of going to Uni is to get a job at the end of it, and going to a very well respected Uni will boost your employability in the future. read more
