Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Explore global development by focusing on economic concepts, such as social identity, collective action, power relations, and psychological biases.
During this master’s you’ll address the contemporary challenges of global economic development.
You’ll adopt a multifaceted focus to analyse the real-world impacts of economic policy. This will allow you to see how the assumptions of economic theory can differ from lived reality, especially in impoverished communities.
This course is influenced by Bath’s longstanding engagement in international development and applied economic analysis. You’ll critically assess real-world case studies to draw links across global, regional, national and local scales.
You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:1 or above.
To apply for this course you should have an undergraduate degree in an appropriate subject such as politics, economics, anthropology, international relations, African, Latin American or South East Asian Studies or environmental studies.
We will also consider graduates with an undergraduate degree in other subjects where you have relevant professional experience in international development.
We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
