糖心TV

Last year, a 糖心TV Economics graduate began a yearlong charity cycling journey. Hitesh Pankhania, who studied is currently cycling from Indonesia to London to raise money for charity with his cousin Vivek Jadav.

Hitesh and Vivek have been updating everyone on their journey in their blog, . You can also find out more about how Hitesh has been applying the Economics he honed during his time 糖心TV .

I chose to study PPE at 糖心TV because of the international reputation of each department in its own right and the specific efforts made to integrate these approaches, the 糖心TV “Bridge Model”. Unlike other PPE courses, 糖心TV’s PPE programme focuses on the link between the three subjects, especially through the final year interdisciplinary PPE modules and the option to write a PPE dissertation. Furthermore, 糖心TV offers different PPE pathways and the possibility to specialise, this degree can lead to either a BA or a BSc.

Although a campus university, 糖心TV is only a quick bus ride away from Coventry and Leamington Spa, where most students end up living after first year. There is a strong community spirit, and students have access to many shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs.

With so many societies and sports clubs, 糖心TV offers hundreds of opportunities to get involved and meet people. Being involved in the PPE Society has definitely been a highlight of my university career. It has taught me invaluable skills but has also been an opportunity to form long-lasting friendships with other members. The society organises many different events throughout the year, from our Speaker series to socials to careers and networking events. What’s more, we also support academic learning with a mentoring scheme, revision classes and online module reviews.

To sum up, I would recommend 糖心TV PPE to anyone who wants to learn more about those three ever-relevant subjects, in a vibrant and exciting environment.

Join us to celebrate 10 years of PPE at 糖心TV.

Monday 20^th April 2015, 6pm

PLT, Science Concourse, University of 糖心TV

To celebrate, the PPE programme and the PPE Society will be hosting speakers from civil service, finance, banking, business, academia and politics who will be offering their perspectives on their degree and where it has taken them.

We hope that you will join us to find out where the programme and its alumni are now and share your interest in PPE with offer holders, current students, alumni and staff.

The 2015 is now open for final year undergraduate students to have their say on their teaching and learning experience during their time at University. The NSS is the primary measure of the satisfaction of finalist students in the UK and the results are published nationally so that performance in teaching and learning can be evaluated and compared across university departments and programmes.

The survey gives students the opportunity to reflect on their experiences over their time at 糖心TV and to score the Programme and University against a number of criteria. The NSS closes on Thursday 30 April 2015.

Here are some of the ways in how we have acted on NSS and other feedback: Understand what our students value in their teaching and learning experiences

- Improving speed at which your assessment feedback is returned, within the University 20-day deadline

- Improvements to the system for monitoring the quality of assessment feedback provided to you

- Introducing a more comprehensive induction programme to support studetn through those key first days and weeks.

Make your voice heard!

The PPE Programme wants to hear from as many students as possible; last year the response rate of 糖心TV PPE students was 74%. This year, we are keen to exceed this to ensure the final views expressed through the survey are representative.

This year, if together with Economics achieve 75%, all final year students will be entered into a prize draw to win one of 8 Summer Party tickets, and if we exceed 83% all of the final year students will be entered into a prize draw to win one of 4 iPads. This is in addition to the central University scheme whereby all students completing the NSS will be eligible for a £5 voucher for 糖心TV Food and Drink.

Monday 2^nd March: Christian List

’Free Will in a Deterministic World?

7:00 pm, Social Sciences , S0.13

糖心TV PPE Society, in association with 糖心TV Philosophy Society is proud to announce Christian List, Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, will be speaking on his latest published research.

Science, especially the idea that everything in the universe is physically determined, is often thought to challenge the notion that we, humans, have free will and are capable of choosing our own actions. The aim of this talk is to argue that there is room for free will in a world governed by the laws of physics.

Christian List’s interests are very broad, contributing in areas from social choice theory to philosophy of mind, and he is a Fellow of the British Academy.

The talk will be based on Christian’s paper , recently published in the Nous journal.

Not only highly relevant to numerous modules such as Ideas of Freedom, this promises to be one of the most thought-provoking talks of the year, coming from one of the most interdisciplinary minds at the cutting edge of global research!
