Student review [#90682] for Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
at Charles University

The Politics, Philosophy, and Economics program at Charles University offers a highly focused and rewarding academic experience. The professors are engaged, approachable, and genuinely care about your development, and the administrative side runs surprisingly smoothly for a large European university, with a personal touch given to every student. The small cohort size makes it easy to build strong connections, and Prague itself is an incredible place to study, with a rich social scene and culture. That said, the program can feel a bit isolated from the rest of the university, especially between the English and Czech-speaking faculties, which sometimes limits broader academic and social integration. Professor Solomon’s philosophy courses are a highlight of the PPE program, world-class in both content and delivery. Drawing from the Oxford PPE model, he brought a rigorous yet refreshingly personalized approach that made complex ideas feel both accessible and engaging. While I initially found the Economics track less effective in its teaching methods, the program showed a strong willingness to adapt. Student feedback was taken seriously, and the curriculum has since been overhauled, leading to a much-improved and more coherent learning experience. Therefore, if you’re looking for an intellectually stimulating program in a world-class city, PPE at Charles is a great choice for anyone looking to build a future in diplomacy, law or a political career.
