John Stuart Mill College

About John Stuart Mill College

The John Stuart Mill College (JSMC) was founded in 2016 with the ambition to position VU Amsterdam as the centre on the European continent of excellent Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) research and education.

Professionals in business, politics and academia have to deal ever more with complex societal questions that cannot be solved from one angle. Within our programme PPE, undergraduates learn to understand complex and important societal problems by looking at them from different perspectives. We facilitate this by having students make use of the analytical tools of the three disciplines. In this way, PPE offers the necessary skills and knowledge for students to play a defining role in shaping the world of tomorrow.

Since the start of the programme, we have distinguished ourselves through our focused nature, the inclusion of disciplinary and interdisciplinary courses, and our analytical profile. Find out more about the Bachelor's degree on vu.nl/ppe.
