Welcome!

On behalf of the Club of PEP, we would like to welcome all students: potential, new and old, to the best department on campus, The School of PEP (Politics, Economics and Philosophy) at the University of York.

The Club of PEP is an organisation, which has open membership to all joint honours students of the University of York, who are studying a combination of: Politics, Philosophy and Economics.

Its main remit is to unite the students, and increase their awareness of career opportunities, bring them into arenas of heated debate based around their chosen subjects, and to offer them an array of insightful speakers and social events.

The events cover the areas of: careers, personal development, speakers' events, social events, and scholarship opportunities. As well as holding numerous events for our members, we are also associated with the International Association for Political Science Students (IAPSS), the University of Lund and Vox (the University of York's PPE academic journal).

If you are a student and would like to get involved with the Club, join our Facebook group, Club of PEP or alternatively, come to one of our committee meetings (email info@clubofpep.org for details). Or if you would prefer a more informal environment, come along to one of our socials and get involved! If you are an employer and would like to know more about attending YorkWorks please click on the Employers heading on the left.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website.

What is the School of P.E.P.?

The School of Politics, Economics and Philosophy (PEP School) is not itself a Department but exists to co-ordinate the combined degrees involving Economics, Philosophy and Politics. The School aims to provide integrated and coherent degrees in the various combinations of these subjects while retaining sufficient flexibility to allow students to pursue their own particular interests within the subjects.

The three departments of Politics, Economics and Philosophy, have each achieved the maximum score of 24 out of 24 for the quality of their teaching. The marks were awarded by the external review teams from the Quality Assurance Agency. Additionally, each of the Departments received 5 out of 5 possible points for the quality of their Research in the recent RAE assessments.

The director of the School is Prof. M. Mattravers and the School's secretary is Ms. Andi Carte.

For further information on the School, please visit the website.

The Committee of the Club of P.E.P.

The Club of PEP held its second Annual General Meeting (AGM) on the 30th January 2010. If you would like to look at the Club's constitution, please refer to the relevant page.

At the AGM, the Members of the Club's Executive Committee were elected. The Constitution calls simply for the Senior Members of the Executive Committee (i.e. the President, Secretary and Treasurer) to be elected. Ordinary Committee Members are also elected onto the General Committee by block vote.
