Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) Society

Welcome to the King's Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) Society, a space where curiosity meets clarity, and complex ideas become engaging conversations. We’re here to make PPE accessible, exciting, and empowering for everyone, not just those already fluent in political theory or economic models, because talking about justice, markets, power, rights, systems, and society should never feel intimidating.

Our Vision 💡

We want to democratise access to philosophy, politics, and economics for anyone curious about how the world works and how it could work better. In a world where “being apolitical” feels easier, we’re building a space where you can start engaging with no prior knowledge, no judgement, just an open mind and the passion to learn.

Our Mission 🎯

• To create a welcoming platform where students can explore, question, and learn without fear of being “not expert enough”
• To bring a fresh, interdisciplinary lens to the biggest issues of our time
• To break down complex ideas into engaging conversations, activities, and events

What We Offer 🎤

• Fireside chats with academics, politicians, corporate leaders, and changemakers
• Workshops and skills sessions that go beyond the classroom
• Debates, pub nights, and socials that combine sharp thinking with great conversation
• The Thinker, a bi-annual, interdisciplinary, student-led publication

Why Become a Member? 🎟️

• Priority access to all events (including limited-capacity talks, workshops, and masterclasses)
• Discounts to all ticketed events (like balls, symposiums, special dinners, etc.)
• A welcoming community of students where your ideas matter
• And, of course, a friendship with the committee (plus insider updates and the occasional unhinged group chat)

​Whether you're here to change the world or just understand it better, PPE Society is your place to start.

Join us. Think big. Dive deep. Have fun.
