    The PPE Experience, with Prof. Dr Ong Kian Ming

    In this episode of EConversation, we got to experience first-hand, a trial look into the groundbreaking Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) programme at Taylor’s University, the first of its kind in Malaysia. Designed by Professor Dr. Ong Kian Ming, former Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and a seasoned economist and policymaker, the programme equips students with a multidisciplinary toolkit to navigate the complexities of modern societies. Join team AMEU to understand how the framework of PPE equips us with a unique interdisciplinary lens to solve real-life problems! Alongside Dr. Ong, we will have a dialogue on how PPE integrates social sciences, analytical thinking, and real-world applications as potential preparations for students entering high-impact roles in multinational corporations, policymaking and beyond.
