The biggest challenges facing society are international; to find solutions, we need global thinkers. Led by internationally-recognised academics, the International Political Economy master’s course will give you the tools to interrogate the politics behind global flows of money, people and capital.
Through mandatory course units, you’ll be introduced to a range of orthodox and critical approaches to the study of globalisation while developing your skills in conducting and designing research.
You’ll also be able to tailor the course to fit your interests, with course units relating to:
development and inequality
environmental politics
global governance
economic crisis
the politics of resistance and revolt.
Upon completing the course, you’ll be well placed to pursue a career in any field driving social change.
