Many other universities who offer our courses (particularly PPE) do not offer this level of variety. We do have some restrictions but these become less and less throughout the course (the restrictions also vary between the different courses we offer). The scope of material available between the three departments is huge, which has allowed me to combine some fascinatingly diverse and inter-related topics within my degree.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and also, on top of the standard modules you can pick some inter-disciplinary modules (modules taught jointly by two of the departments) which focus directly on overlap between the subjects. This term I\u2019ve started <em>Rationality, Morality and Economics<\/em>&nbsp;which offers an ethical slant to topics of individual and social choice. Very few universities offering PPE or our joint-honour degrees offer these sorts of modules.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-11.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-599\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-599 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-11.jpg?resize=371%2C209\" alt=\"pep blog 2 pic 11\" width=\"371\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-11.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-11.jpg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-11.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Given you only take about six modules each year, the only downside of all this, is that you have to make some pretty tough choices about which modules to take. If I could, I\u2019d probably choose all of them!! (well\u2026.maybe not statistics\u2026). Having said that, my choices have got easier throughout the course as I\u2019ve realised what topics really \u201cget me going\u201d and which not so much.<\/p>\n<p>Most people\u2019s degrees eventually reflect a particular strand of academic interests spanning over the subjects they\u2019ve studied. Many PPE students for example have a strong \u201cgovernance\u201d theme running through their degree by choosing to study a lot of British politics, applied ethics, and political economics. Personally, I went for a more theoretical approach, by choosing a lot of political theory, classical economics, and history of philosophy. I\u2019d say that alongside the variety on offer there\u2019s also the chance to build a strong continuity into your degree and tailor it to your interests.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-10.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-598\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-598 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-10.jpg?resize=394%2C222\" alt=\"pep blog 2 pic 10\" width=\"394\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-10.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/pep-blog-2-pic-10.jpg?w=624&amp;ssl=1 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Studying lots of different topics does admittedly come with its challenges.&nbsp;As the old saying goes, \u201cit&#8217;s depth not breadth\u201d that matters when it comes to assessments.
