Bachelor IN PHILOSOPHY, POLITICS AND ECONOMICS

Students in the Degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Navarra gain practical skills from day one through hands-on projects, international experiences, and real-world applications that go beyond traditional lectures. The program is designed so you don’t just study ideas — you apply them, whether it’s analysing cases, designing policies, or engaging with institutions and social projects. From immersive trips to global cities to collaborative teamwork, you’ll see how classroom knowledge connects to real social, political, and economic contexts:

• Project-based learning is integrated throughout the curriculum, including case analysis, social intervention projects, and policy design exercises across philosophy, politics, and economics.

• In the first and second years, students participate in study trips to major centres in Europe and the United States to visit institutions and experience how political and economic systems operate in practice.

• The Internship and Employment Service supports students in finding and managing internships, developing professional skills, and connecting with organisations and companies.

• Collaborative group work and interdisciplinary projects help you build teamwork, communication, and leadership skills while tackling complex, real-world questions.

• Participation in activities such as debate tournaments, strategy and geopolitics conferences, the PPE Club, and simulation exercises allows you to apply theory in practical settings and develop analytical, ethical, and strategic thinking.

• Opportunities for international exchange in the third and fourth years allow you to spend up to two semesters abroad, gaining exposure to different cultural, political, and economic environments.
