PPE prepares aspiring policymakers to contribute effectively to international organisations, regulatory agencies, public administration, prominent corporations, and lobbying and consulting firms.

Throughout their academic journey, students will have the opportunity to live a multifaceted enquiry-based learning experience, in which lectures with top academics blend with testimonials from relevant professionals, mainly from the Luiss Alumni network, laboratories, project works and simulations that will culminate in a “Grand Challenge”.

Highly interdisciplinary, the Programme will allow students to critically examine the decision-making mechanisms that shape contemporary affairs from international, political, economic, legal, and sociological lenses and will be further enriched by a Humanities course of their choosing.
