Student review [#11755] for Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
at University of Oxford

Oxford is very full on and difficult. The workload is very high, very consistently, and most people find it hard to keep up. Because there is so much work, you often feel like you haven’t fully understood and covered every topic. The atmosphere at the university is also still fairly posh and stuffy. People from privileged backgrounds dominate extracurriculars in university life.

The PPE course is very anglo-centric. Philosophy is exclusively analytic, and politics is either analytic theory or positivist empirical work.
