Economics and politics at Durham

bm_ucan2012

Hi

I currently hold an offer to read the captioned course in the coming year. I know ppe at Durham is very prestigious but how is this 'partial' ppe course doing? Is the teaching quality the same? Are graduates from this course also as highly regarded as those from ppe in employers' eyes?

Any help is appreciated!!!!

You go to exactly the same lectures as anyone taking economics and politics modules.

Everyone taking each module goes to the same lecture, no matter whether they do straight economics, E&P, PPE, combined honours, or are doing it as a random elective.

Hi Thank you :smile:

I applied on 7 Nov and received my offer (ABB, St. Cuth's) in mid-Jan.
I know that university college's extremely competitive so that might be the reason why u still haven't got a reply yet!!

Economics and Politics just involves doing the same modules as PPE students, but doing more E&P instead of their Philosophy stuff.

It's certainly no less respectable - if anything it gives you more of an opportunity to specialise in Economics if you want to go that way.
