This is an interdisciplinary, research-based programme offered by the Leipzig University and LSE.
This is a wide-ranging academic programme which combines global economic history, international studies, area studies, and social science approaches to the study of globalisation processes. You will spend the first year of the programme at our partner institution. Students attending LSE follow the MSc in Global Economic History based in the Department of Economic History.
Courses consider the origin and outcomes of distinct patterns of economic growth in various times and parts of the world. The programme also seeks to explain the rise in international economic inequality since the nineteenth century, why the economic growth impulse in modern times was strong in some world regions and weaker in others, and why large parts of the world are still trapped in poverty, stagnation and instability.
2:1 degree or equivalent in social science or humanities, plus basic knowledge of German
