• The first year consists of academic core courses. Interdisciplinary courses such as ‘Law, justice and morality, 'Politics, power, and governance’, and ‘Decision making’ help students foster a broad mindset and provide a good foundation in the disciplines. This in turn gives them the required knowledge for the courses in the second and third year.
  • In the second year, students start on their specialization (major) in either politics, psychology, law, or economics and business.
  • The majors have been specially and carefully designed by teams of leading scholars from all across the University of Amsterdam.
  • During the first semester of their third year, PPLE students can study abroad for one semester. Before receiving their Bachelor’s of Science degree, they will write an extensive Bachelor’s thesis.
