Bachelor in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (Honours)

Taylor's University

Program overview

The Bachelor in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (Honours) at Taylor’s University is Malaysia's first and only PPE programme, offering a multidisciplinary and industry-focused approach to social sciences within one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant economic and political contexts. As geopolitics and geoeconomics become increasingly interconnected, graduates equipped to navigate this complex policy landscape will be highly valued by large corporations and multinational companies.

With limited seats available for each intake, the PPE programme provides a personalised and engaging educational experience. Designed by Professor Dr. Ong Kian Ming, a former two-term Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry, the curriculum draws on his extensive expertise as an economist, political scientist, management consultant, and policymaker. This prepares students for leadership roles where the realms of business and policy intersect.
