UFV is one of the first universities to offer a university degree in Philosophy, Politics, Law, and Economics (PPLE), a pioneering program that integrates four essential disciplines for understanding contemporary economic systems.
You won’t study economics in isolation, but rather in connection with its philosophical foundations, legal framework, and political dimension.
In a context where AI automates technical tasks, the real competitive advantage lies in critical thinking, independent judgment, and the ability to integrate ethical dimensions into economic decisions.
You will learn to discern between what is technically possible and what is socially responsible, designing solutions that promote the common good without compromising analytical rigor.
This university dual degree incorporates advanced training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, game theory, financial economics, and data analysis. You will develop technical expertise to interpret markets, assess risks, and make strategic decisions based on solid quantitative evidence.
The PPLE university degree offers the richest and most stimulating academic experience available in Spain for students seeking more than just technical training. The integration of four disciplines, challenge-based methodology, personalized support, and college life create a deep learning environment that radically transforms the way you think and understand the world.
Here you will develop a solid intellectual architecture that will allow you to analyze complex systems, anticipate consequences, and lead with discernment.
You will be required to complete the minor in Advanced Financial Analytics, with specific preparation for the CFA Level I certification from the CFA Institute, one of the most prestigious international standards in financial analysis.
You will learn through experiential and applied learning, through parliamentary simulations, economic analysis laboratories, ethical-political debates, seminars with experts, and visits to public and private institutions. In addition, you will be able to participate in academic trips* to centers of political, economic, and cultural relevance.
You will study at UFV College, using an innovative methodology based on solving complex challenges, interdisciplinary collaborative work, and experiential learning. You will not memorize economic models: you will apply them, question them, and integrate them into real projects where you will have to make decisions that have an impact.
And best of all, you will enjoy a unique university experience. The UFV campus offers an environment that encourages reflection, creativity, and participation, with a vibrant university life full of cultural activities, sports teams, volunteer opportunities, international projects, and lifelong friendships.
