Globalisation, Business and Development (Taught)

1st in the world for Development Studies (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025)

Business plays a significant role in shaping solutions to the many local, national and global developmental challenges we face today – particularly in the age of globalisation.

Based at IDS, you’ll examine the key elements of business operations and their growing relevance to international development.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of economic power shifts and rapid technological transformation amid global inequalities. You’ll develop the analytical and practical skills needed to understand globalisation processes and their drivers, and to participate in the formulation of policies for sustainable development.
