People with a PPE degree from Oxford (Philosophy, Politics, Economics) have been a significant presence at the top of British life for many decades. PPE is a general degree giving those who study it a broad appreciation of the meaning of life. My first degree was in Humanities (history, literature, politics) so I can hardly complain.
Oxford has offered the degree since 1920, Cambridge doesnt offer it. Even so the subjects new Oxbridge students are choosing to study gives a pointer to the perspectives the UK (and wider, there is a global student base including China & South Asia)ruling elite will have in a decade or two
