Philosophy, Politics & Economics BA (Hons) with Integrated Foundation at Regents University London

The Integrated Foundation is designed for those who do not meet the requirements for direct entry onto the BA (Hons) Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE). During this year, you will take a broader look at some of the key topics on the degree programme including international relations, political science and management. This will provide you with a foundation of core knowledge and skills to confidently progress onto the degree programme.

This programme offers multi-disciplinary breadth, integrating philosophical skills with political and economic knowledge. You’ll develop important critical-thinking skills and apply these to major contemporary issues.

We’ll encourage you to seek connections across all areas of your learning and develop the applied, transferable skills you’ll need to address world problems.

Leadership is a recurrent theme, and you’ll learn how to adapt your approach to lead people and projects across cultures and industries. Working and debating in groups will hone your skills in communication, teamwork, argumentation and negotiation.

A wide choice of elective modules offers the chance to explore other subjects alongside your core studies, including languages and career planning.

Regent’s international campus community brings an extra dimension to the classroom experience. You’ll be learning in a multicultural environment, similar to an international professional setting, where politics and economics are intertwined, underpinned by philosophical ideas and ethical norms.

There is an emphasis on practical skills and employability. Work on real-life project briefs will encourage you to explore new perspectives and directions through debates and simulations. In Year 2, you’ll have the option to undertake an experiential project (the equivalent of a work placement) to better equip you for real-life professional experience.

In Year 2, you’ll also have the option to spend a term studying abroad at one of Regent’s international partner institutions in Europe, Asia or the USA.

For your final-year project, you’ll complete a major piece of work that synthesises all that you’ve learnt, researching a real-world dilemma and proposing new approaches or practical solutions to resolve the problem.
