A world-wide recognized program
The Bachelor of Laws, Politics and Economics has its roots in the PPE category. This category is comprised of multidisciplinary degrees which combine the study of three different disciplines (originally philosophy, politics and economics). The first PPE degree was offered by the University of Oxford in the 1920s as a modern version of their classical studies. This holistic model was profoundly successful and many of the most prestigious universities worldwide followed it. Today, these degrees are offered by top institutions like IE University where the young leaders of tomorrow are being trained to shape the future of societies and organizations globally.
Why Politics, Law and Economics?
The global environment is shaped and influenced by many dimensions, reason why it is necessary to look at the world through different windows to really understand the major issues that we are facing.
Future leaders will need a profound understanding of the political, legal and economic processes and systems that shape our societies and, more importantly, they will need to comprehend how these disciplines are bound together. This knowledge will set you in a position of advantage in an increasingly demanding market and evolving world.
In the PLE program, special courses are designed to integrate all three disciplines and to encourage you to learn, analyze, relate and combine them in order to solve global problems. The study plan will provide a wide range of knowledge and skills that will make you highly sought after once they graduate.
Why politics?
Given the fact that politics and political institutions influence societies, economic decisions and policy making processes, being aware of how economic laws and regulations change is relevant for someone who wants to develop a career in either the public or public sector. Through some of the specific subjects you’ll study, you will learn how to evaluate political actions, analyze affairs and policies and how to make uniform decisions that will benefit members of a group or society.
Why law?
The law not only has the purpose of keeping societies together and functioning properly, but it also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness and justice, among others. Studying law and being aware of its influence in our daily lives will help you understand global complex issues and it will help you build arguments, understand policies and think both critically and abstractly.
Why economics?
Economics is the social science that studies how scarce resources are allocated based on the decision of individuals, companies and governments.
By studying this, you will obtain the necessary perspective to look at social issues that rise from imbalanced wealth distribution and you’ll be able to apply an economic analysis to law and politics in order to conceive better policies and regulations.
