00:00:00.065 --> 00:00:01.325
The EPP course stands

2
00:00:01.325 --> 00:00:03.445
for Economic Psychology and Philosophy.

3
00:00:03.745 --> 00:00:05.725
And what makes it unique is that here

4
00:00:06.405 --> 00:00:08.005
students are given the opportunity not just

5
00:00:08.005 --> 00:00:09.925
to study each topic in isolation,

6
00:00:10.305 --> 00:00:13.205
but really as a cognitive style type of degree,

7
00:00:13.375 --> 00:00:15.365
where they learn how to integrate across

8
00:00:15.365 --> 00:00:17.085
these different disciplines. It

9
00:00:17.225 --> 00:00:21.645
Allows you to tailor it to yourself in your first year,

10
00:00:21.705 --> 00:00:25.925
you are quite, um, you focus on the basics of each sort

11
00:00:25.925 --> 00:00:28.685
of subject, where you have more compulsory modules,

12
00:00:28.685 --> 00:00:32.085
including maths, philosophy, stats,

13
00:00:33.005 --> 00:00:34.085
economics, and psychology.

14
00:00:34.345 --> 00:00:35.885
And then as you get into second

15
00:00:35.905 --> 00:00:37.925
and third year, you have a lot more chance

16
00:00:38.025 --> 00:00:41.325
and opportunity to sort of pick the modules that you like.

17
00:00:41.745 --> 00:00:45.845
So in my second year, I did a module called The Philosophy

18
00:00:45.865 --> 00:00:47.645
of Terrorism and Counterterrorism,

19
00:00:48.135 --> 00:00:50.165
which is something I found very interesting.

20
00:00:50.705 --> 00:00:52.645
One of the unique aspects of this program is

21
00:00:52.645 --> 00:00:56.445
that students are not just taught a mix of quantitative

22
00:00:56.585 --> 00:00:57.645
and qualitative skills,

23
00:00:57.705 --> 00:00:59.445
but they're also taught how to integrate them

24
00:00:59.705 --> 00:01:01.645
and how each can complement the other.

25
00:01:01.825 --> 00:01:04.445
So some students have gone on to get, uh,

26
00:01:04.445 --> 00:01:08.205
government based jobs in the un, others have gone to NGOs,

27
00:01:08.305 --> 00:01:10.565
others have gone to industry based jobs.

28
00:01:10.985 --> 00:01:13.165
But a common link across all of these is

29
00:01:13.165 --> 00:01:16.045
that there's some aspect of both understanding how

30
00:01:16.045 --> 00:01:19.045
to analyze data, so behavioral data in particular,

31
00:01:19.465 --> 00:01:22.525
but also, uh, to interpret data and communicate it clearly.

32
00:01:23.005 --> 00:01:26.605
PPP in general gives you a wide range of opportunities.

33
00:01:26.865 --> 00:01:29.965
So you, there's many different sort of aspects

34
00:01:29.965 --> 00:01:31.525
and directions you can go down.

35
00:01:32.185 --> 00:01:35.725
Me personally, I've gone down the more finance route into

36
00:01:35.895 --> 00:01:39.005
consulting, and I'm gonna start a grad job when I graduate

37
00:01:39.005 --> 00:01:39.685
in consulting.
