Our students give you a tour through Witten/Herdecke University.

1 / 4

The Master in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Witten/Herdecke University is fully taught in English and focuses on the social, political, and economic challenges of an increasingly interconnected world, such as:

  • massive intercontinental migration
  • economic inequalities
  • political radicalisation
  • ethnic wars
  • political conflicts

Aim for leading positions in politics and economics

In our understanding, only people with an interdisciplinary background and a broad vision will be able to develop creative and sustainable solutions for the future world society. Therefore, future political and economic leaders need to be able to competently reflect upon ethical and philosophical issues. The PPE Master in Witten is tailor-made for this kind of future executives. It qualifies for a large number of jobs and careers in leading positions at the interface of politics, economics and (civil) society.

Studying in Witten is not a question of money! By means of the Income Share Agreement (ISA) we enable students to finance their studies regardless of their financial background. For this, the RGC decouples the time of paying tuition fees from the time of studying: Students do not have to finance their studies until they start earning money.

The SG offers three ways to pay for your studies at UW/H:

  • Income-related repayment
  • Fixed direct payment
  • Later and direct payment by halves

All students are granted:

  • Free access to higher education
  • Free organization of studies
  • Free choice of professional career

The non-profit organization "StudierendenGesellschaft" handles the entire financing of your studies at UW/H – independent of the way of payment you choose.
