Student review [#18826] for Politics, Psychology, Law, and Economics
at University of Amsterdam - UvA

The Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE) programme at the University of Amsterdam is a challenging, but rewarding programme which enables students to pursue more than one discipline. It provides a holistic understanding of social sciences and teaches students how to interpret the socio-economic structures embedded in our society. Through PPLE students improve their interpersonal and organisational skills, which are applicable in any of the four disciplines (and other fields as well!). Aside from the rigorous academics, the programme is very international and gives lots of opportunities to socialise, join engaging clubs and associations and meet people from various cultures. Perhaps one downside of PPLE is that it limits the extent to which you can focus on a chosen discipline because even after choosing your specialisation you’ll have to learn all four disciplines. So, when applying, really consider whether you’re interested in all four areas of study or if you’d prefer to study only one!
