The latter is missing philosophy and politics/economics is spelt differently 😂

Yeah usually PPE includes modules in Philosophy whereas Politics and Economics will just contain modules in those subjects although I think the second P refers to Policy at at least one university from memory. At some universities, the latter may also contain more mathematical content but this will vary between uni's in any case and is something that should be looked at an individual course level when choosing if it is a major factor. I believe the PPE is typically viewed better by snobs but both are solid degrees for the majority of career options that are not subject specific.
