Want to build a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous global economy? Korbel is ranked 12th best place in the world to earn a master's degree in international relations. Play your part in meeting today’s most pressing economic challenges. This program focuses on the interaction between economics and politics to provide a critical perspective on international trade, finance, and economic development policy.

There is an urgent need for a radical rethink of our economic system. We need new thinking and new models that recognise the challenges we face now, rather than blindly following the path that has led us into the converging crises we now face.

The MA in Global Political Economy and Finance is a 30-credit program that provides students with a sophisticated understanding of the world economy in historical context, the political economic analysis of the dynamics of contemporary world capitalist society, and state-of-the-art tools of political economic and financial analysis.
