Climate change, populism, or deepening inequality: our world today faces many complex challenges that cannot be tackled by one discipline alone. We need an approach that cuts across boundaries. At the University of Groningen (UG), the selective one-year Master’s in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) will equip you with the central theoretical and methodological tools from PPE to understand complex problems and assess proposals to address them. For example, you will delve into theories of democracy, rational choice, evidence-based policy, social justice, inequality and economic growth, and apply theoretical insights to concrete policy problems. Find more information in the PPE study guide 2023-2024.
At the Universitat Pompeu Fabra Barcelona (UPF), you will work with international experts in political philosophy and take courses that lay a solid foundation in political philosophy as well as courses to sharpen your own research specialization. At the end of the double-degree programme, you will write a thesis jointly supervised by researchers from both UPF and the UG. It is possible to have your first year in Groningen and your second year in Barcelona or the other way around.

Waarom aan de University of Groningen?
Rather than studying the three disciplines separately, our programme is unique in teaching PPE as a genuinely integrated discipline and in applying theories and methods to policy issues. In both the University of Groningen (UG) and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra Barcelona (UPF), core courses lay a solid foundation in PPE and Political Philosophy while electives allow you to sharpen your own area of expertise.
The double-degree master programme is unique in providing students both with a solid education in PPE whilst also giving them the opportunity to specialize in Political Philosophy research.
The Faculty of Philosophy is among the strongest faculties for Philosophy research in Continental Europe and ranked as the best place to study philosophy in the Netherlands. UPF Barcelona boasts an outstanding cluster of internationally prominent researchers in Political Philosophy. Throughout, small class sizes and personal mentoring provide a personalised approach to help students flourish.
