Bruno Verbeek
University lecturer
“The 3PE program is ideal for students who are passionate about real world dilemmas, eager to understand and analyze these: capitalism or socialism; local or global justice; promoting freedom or curtailing it for the sake of social equality; resisting unjust power or acquiescence in the wisdom of traditions. We give you the tools necessary to understand these fundamental issues and how they relate to current affairs.”
