都柏林圣三一学院

Philosophy, Political Science, Economics and Sociology, (P.P.E.S.) offers a coherent and integrated introduction to the study of social sciences and philosophy. It brings together some of the most important approaches to understanding society and, in doing so, develops skills for a whole range of future careers and activities. Central to the programme is the analysis of social and human phenomena through the lens of several complementary disciplines and analytical frameworks. By allowing a gradual specialisation over the course of the four-year degree programme, students ultimately obtain an excellent grounding in one, or at most two, of the disciplines which comprise the course.

P.P.E.S.: The course for you?

Drawing on the methods and insights of philosophical inquiry, the course examines the way societies are organised, governed and create wealth. If you are curious about the way our world is structured and how it has evolved over time, this may well be the course for you.

P.P.E.S. @ Trinity

Trinity College is the only university in the Republic of Ireland that offers this broad combination of subjects in a single programme. Other institutions, including Trinity, offer two subject combinations such as Economics and Political Science or Economics and Philosophy, but you will not get the opportunity to study these four fascinating subjects together anywhere else. Following the first two years, the programme facilitates two years of greater specialisation in either one or two of the subjects.

At Trinity, we have world-class teachers and researchers who are committed to providing rigorous, interesting and challenging courses.
