This Global Political Economy MA is an interdisciplinary online programme that explores the interactions of political, economic, and social forces in a global context, and how they are transforming our world. Such forces include individual states and international organisations like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
It also extends to transnational social movements, such as the global climate movement and mass mobilisations against authoritarian rulers.
Youll consider and come to appreciate the extent to which the global political economy impacts and transforms our everyday world. Its consequences include, for example, economic, financial, and environmental crises, conflict poverty, inequality, and gender relations.
This Global Political Economy MA is designed to convey an in-depth understanding of how transformations in the global political economy affect different states, regions, and sectors.
Using a social science framework and referencing our own world-leading insight, you will learn to analyse key issues and challenges in the global political economy. In doing so, you will develop an awareness of the challenges, trade-offs, and uncertainties concerning decision-making in the global political economy.
On this MA, you will learn various academic and professional analytical, techniques to assess and evaluate different aspects of the global political economy, including but not limited to trade, finance, energy, natural resource availability and extraction, poverty, inequality, migration, and development.
Typical careers you can expect to pursue include economist, financial analyst, trade specialist, lobbyist, political scientist, policy analyst, business analyst, marketing specialist, researcher, charity advisor, and more.
Graduates of the on-campus version of this course enjoy highly successful careers across the public, private, and third sector. They can be found working in the UK and Europe, as well as in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
