I’m Molly and I am a final year student studying Politics and Economics at York! I want to tell you about why being a part of the School of PPE is an amazing experience and some other things about what it’s like to study one of the PPE programmes here.

My blog will cover things about the Club of PEP, and some of the course content that I have particularly enjoyed over my 3 years so far.
