Description Contents Requirements Funding

Politics and economics are intertwined. In today’s globalised world, understanding one area and not the other makes comprehension incomplete. Analysing and drafting effective policy require knowledge of the interaction between economic and political goals.

The MSc (International Political Economy) programme provides the link between politics and economics by examining relevant theoretical and practical concepts from both disciplines. It seeks to equip students with:

Analytical skills necessary to understand complex interactions between international politics and economics
Substantive knowledge spanning countries and regions throughout the world
An understanding of the historical evolution of the global political economy in order to appreciate and address challenges in the contemporary period
