See a video of congratulations from Kirk, make sure to keep in touch and once again remember that we are proud of all of your achievements and we hope to see you soon for a proper celebration!

The PPE programme is pleased to announce that our NSS results for 2020 continue to reflect a high level of student satisfaction. Our BA/BSc PPE degree received 91.8% overall satisfaction.

The Philosophy, Politics and Economics departments are also celebrating huge successes in the 2020 NSS results.

A Warwick Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) student was recently selected as a finalist to present her Research in Applied Economics (RAE) paper online at the New Economic Talent competition and went on to win first place.

Ronja Griep, a BA Philosophy, Politics and Economics graduate, has been announced as a Gates Cambridge Scholar for 2020.

Roger Farmer, Professor of Economics, comments on the economic impact of the coronavirus:

"The current expansion that began in June of 2009 is the longest in post-war US history. The effect of Coronavirus on economic activity will mark the end of that expansion and we are now seeing the fears of market participants reflected in a stock-market crash with major market indices that dropped by more than 10% last week, wiping out all of the gains from the previous year."
