PPE at Bristol

I am looking at courses to do at The University of Bristol for 2026 entry. I take A-level Sociology, Health and Social care and History. I want to study PPE as a degree, but it says on the website a plethora of other combinations for courses such as economics and politics, politics and sociology, philosophy and politics, but not philosophy, politics and economics together! What is my "next best option" for this, and what are other people saying is the best course to take that is similar to PPE at Bristol, as i am set on going there for university. Thanks so much!

As you have realised you cannot do 'PPE' at Bristol but other subject combinations are on offer. No-one can tell you which is 'best' for you, because they are not you and have different academic interests. You need to read through the online course descriptions and check what each course includes - and you need to look at the entry requirements more carefully as for instance you can't do Econ/Pol at Bristol without A level Maths.
