PPE-X Programme

The 3rd PPE Club Events Committee is proud to have organized the first-ever PPE-X Programme which took place from 29 January 2022 to 19 March 2022, and concluded with the final presentation of research ideas on 7 May 2022

This programme was organized under the advisement of Professor Loy and USP Adjunct Lecturer Aaron Maniam, who both anchored the workshops and provided guidance on research ideas and methodology. PPE-X also served as a testbed for a subsequent 4K PPE-coded module.

The programme was designed as a projects clinic to hone student proposals that explore concepts within PPE for Honors Thesis, ISMs, or other research areas. NUS PPE students were encouraged to pursue passion projects, ideate for their Honors Thesis, or simply apply concepts they have learned during the workshops.

We would like to thank our programme facilitators, Prof Loy and USP Adjunct Lecturer Aaron, for their time, effort, and immense insight. Thank you to our participants for sharing your ideas and perspectives, and we hope it was a wonderful learning opportunity for all of you!
