Course contents

"The proposed Master in PPE represents the first international didactic offer of this kind in Southern Italy.
Born at Oxford in the ‘20s of 1900 as “Modern Greats” from the conviction that the study of the great
modern works of philosophical, political and social thought can have a transformative effect on the
intellectual life of students and, so, of society as a whole. It will be characterized in Bari by the use of the
only English language. Taken in terms of interdisciplinarity and internationalization, this renewed didactic
offer can enlarge the possibilities on the job market of the graduates in philosophy, as well as those in
political science and international relations, thanks to a larger whole of competences achievable through
the PPE, especially in the direction of the Mediterranean context to which we aim. Our course is meant to
emphasize the Mediterranean context in which it is geographically, located, with the ambition to work as
a ‘bridge’ between Middle East and Africa, on the one hand, and Europe, on the other. The
multidisciplinary connotation of this course is oriented to the analysis of the relationships among the
cultures that face the Mediterranean sea and the problems of economic development and political
relations that concern this context. The acquisition and application of knowledge, using only the English
language, in the named areas will allow the students to master the main lines of a global society in which
individuals, states, international organizations, ONG and enterprises are going through a process of
reorganization – each in its own way – to tackle important challenges and not miss new opportunities. Our
didactic plan will be oriented to the finality of forming specialists that can work on various levels – e.g.
political, economic, cultural, etc. – particularly in the Mediterranean area, among the specific cultures that
belong to it. A special added value to our Master programme will be provided by the international
agreements with European universities that already offer a PPE master course. We shall share with them
competences and experiences, exchanging staff and students to provide the best possible learning in the
interdisciplinary field of PPE. We shall offer the opportunity to study in our courses to foreign students
coming from universities with which we have agreements of different kinds: Bayreuth University
(Germany), Witten/Herdecke University (Germany), Graz University (Austria), Ulm University (Germany).
At a second stage we shall join a group of PPE programmes including Graz University (Austria), Bern
University (Switzerland) and Bochum University (Germany). Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
brings together some of the most important approaches to understanding the world around us, developing
skills useful for a whole range of careers and activities. Studying Philosophy, students will develop
analytical rigour and the ability to criticise and reason logically, and be able to apply these skills to
questions concerning how we acquire knowledge or make ethical judgements. The study of Politics
provides a thorough understanding of the impact of political institutions on modern societies. It helps the
students to evaluate the choices that political systems must regularly make, to explain the processes that
maintain or change those systems, and to examine the concepts and values used in political analysis.
Economics is the study of how consumers, firms and government make decisions that together determine
how resources are allocated. An appreciation of economics has become increasingly necessary to make
sense of governmental policy-making, the conduct of businesses, and the enormous economic
transformations throughout the world. PPE offers a good preparation for a wide variety of careers, many
linked to subjects studied at Oxford. The careers most commonly chosen are in: Banking and finance,
politics, journalism and broadcasting, law, industry, teaching, social work, accountancy, business
management, advertising, many branches of the public service, including the civil and diplomatic services
and local government.
