Location of Durham University
You will follow a common core programme of first year modules which aims to build a firm and broad foundation for further study:
o elements of economics
o economic methods
o the world economy.
In your second and third year you will take options from a wide range of modules and can specialise as your interests develop. You also have the opportunity to extend your course to four years by taking year three as an industrial placement or an international exchange.
Contents
The degree of Philosophy, Politics and Economics has a separate quota of 45 and all three subjects must be studied alongside, with a maximum specialisation of eight modules and a minimum of two modules in any one of the three subjects in the final two years (years two and three).
In year one, in addition to the economics core modules Elements of Economics, and Economic Methods, you take a further two core modules in Philosophy, examining Ethics and Values, and Knowledge and Reality, whilst in Politics you must take Ideas and Ideologies, and one further optional module.
In years two and three combined, you must study two core modules looking at the principles of macro and micro economics; either Philosophy of the Sciences or Political Philosophy and one further module in Philosophy; and two modules in Politics. Aside from these, and provided that individual module requirements are met, you can specialise and tailor your choices from a wide selection of optional modules in the three subjects. This gives the degree the flexibility and eclecticism that are its defining characteristics.
In year three, the Dissertation (double module) must be done in one of the three subjects and it must be associated with another third year module of the same subject.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testRequirements
* You will not need A-Level Economics.
* You will need at least a grade B in AS Level Mathematics if you are not doing A- Level Maths.
* You will normally be required to have A* grades in GCSE Mathematics and English Language, though some flexibility will be exercised in implementing this condition.
* We do not accept A-Level General Studies.
* Note: the selectors prefer to see a range of A-Level subjects that include an arts or humanities subject, in addition to science subjects to provide an adequate background for all the different skills required to cope with three so different subjects as PPE at university level.
* Applicants are encouraged to avoid studying both Economics and Business Studies A-Levels because of the significantly overlapping curricula.
* International students without English A-level or equivalent, or those whose medium of instruction is not in English, will need an IELTS of 6.5 overall, with no element scoring less than 6
