- Description/content
- The major theme of the programme in Politics, Economics and Philosophy (PEP) is the analysis of individual and collective decisions which will be studied from the perspective of the three disciplines involved. Students will learn how to combine insights from political science, economics and philosophy in order to solve decision problems arising in such diverse areas as politics, corporate governance, international relations and others.
PEP is a research-oriented Master’s programme and it aims to provide a thorough and rigorous training in modern theories and methods in political science, economics and philosophy. On the one hand, PEP is designed for students who subsequently intend to enter a PhD programme in one of the three disciplines and who want to pursue an interdisciplinary approach in their research. On the other hand, PEP addresses students who want to pursue a career in the public sector, a private enterprise or in national and international organisations.
