About this program
The Bachelor's in Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics offers you a combination of broad, yet integrated knowledge and skills, as well as specialised knowledge of one of these four disciplines.
Are you interested in socio-economic topics and intrigued by complex problems? Do you like to be challenged, and do you feel at home in an international environment? If you are considering enrolling for a Bachelor's in Political Science, Psychology, Law or Economics, then the PPLE programme may be your path to academic achievement.
To fully comprehend the questions raised in these fast-paced times, a 21st century answer can be found in the combination of four classic socio-economic disciplines: Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics. The rapid social and economic changes and growing complexity of today's society require academics and professionals who can integrate different fields of knowledge into new solutions. The Bachelor of Science (BSc) in PPLE at the UvA provides you the necessary tools to address these challenges.
Exploring the interface between the disciplines challenges your know-how and stimulates you to collaborate and share knowledge with other students and lecturers. After your studies, you will be equipped to communicate with specialists from different fields and discuss issues beyond the scope of a single discipline.
