The UQPPES was founded in 2017 by the inaugural cohort of UQ’s Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics as a place to share ideas, discuss contemporary issues, start careers and make friends. Since then, the society has grown well beyond its initial membership to include students from Economics & BAFE to Arts, Law, Advanced Humanities, and more.
In that time we’ve held some of the most talked about events in UQ’s student community, including the sold-out Clive Hamilton lecture and hugely successful PPE Soirée. This is a society created by students who are passionate about what they study, and the people they study with.
Every year we host a wide range of events from competitions to cocktails. By becoming a member of the UQPPES, you’ll have access to all of the best cohort-building, thought provoking, career-shaping events on campus.
Not at all, anyone can join! Our members come from a wide variety of schools, from arts, law, economics, and even engineering and medicine.
Being a member gives you first access to all our ticketed events, as well as exclusive updates through our fortnightly newsletter, and is necessary to participate in our competitive & cohort initiatives.
