Our Politics, Philosophy and Law (PPL) LLB degree is the first of its kind in the UK. Co-taught by The Dickson Poon School of Law, the Department of Political Economy, and the Department of Philosophy, this programme offers students the unique opportunity to explore these three different disciplines while simultaneously achieving a law degree.
