Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)

The PPE society is vibrant community of everyone studying or interested in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at LSE. We aim to build a tight-knit network of PPE students in LSE and across London, using our close ties with our counterparts at UCL and KCL. We’re all about top quality speakers and banging socials, and because of this we excel at bringing together the interesting and the interested. With our glittering speaker line up for this term, as well as our PPE alumni series, we hope to be a real source of inspiration for our membership. We’re at once cosy and friendly, but also outgoing and influential in LSE and London. Our events are Informal and chilled, but with room for serious discussion, and with academic weight.As a society, we’re young and fast-growing, yet after only 4 years, we’re already well-established.We’re an ambitious society with so much to offer you this year, so get on our socials and our SU page, and hopefully we’ll see you at our first event! Membership We only have one kind of membership which lasts a year and costs like £3.As a member: You’ll become a part of a "PPE family”- you and no more than 4 others get to know experienced and lovely second years, providing a great start at LSE. You gain access to the single best platform for socialising with like-minded people from KCL and UCL. You’ll have opportunities to write for our brand new PPE journal. You’ll have full access to all sorts of PPE related events all over London- and interested people to go with you.PPE students share lectures with everyone doing any form of Maths, Econ, Government, and Philosophy.
