Opinions on PPE degree
I'm thinking about doing a PPE degree and it seems like something I'd be really interested in. I'm only in yr 11 right now but I am planning on doing physchology, politics, economics and a epq as my A levels.
For those who did or are doing PPE please tell me your honest opinion on it!!
How is your social life with it? (This is really important to me!!)
Is maths involved?
Is it a hard degree?
And was it a degree you would recommend?
Just generally your opinion on it,
Thank you!

Any economics degree including joint honours courses such as PPE will be necessarily mathematical in the PPE portion. Most PPE courses require A-level Maths so not taking it would limit you severely in which PPE courses you could apply to.
If you don't like maths and don't wish to continue it beyond GCSE, don't consider a degree including economics. If you're interested in the political elements you could look at e.g. politics, IR, political economy, or joint honours courses in politics and philosophy.
All degrees can be hard and can have easy elements. If you pick a degree that you have little interest in or aptitude for (see the above comments about maths) then you will probably find it quite hard going. If you choose a degree closely aligned to your strengths that you genuinely enjoy learning about the material and would choose to learn that material even if not doing a degree in the subject, you will probably find it easier going.
