Overview
This programme offers intellectually stimulating insights into how political and economic life interact with each other and how these two spheres jointly influence social and economic outcomes.
The programme aims to maintain a balance between theoretical and practical knowledge on the institutional stability and change of diverse political and economic systems, their role played in economic development, and their intended and unintended social, political and economic consequences.
When you graduate you will be confident in interpreting and understanding contemporary economic and political phenomena by applying the rich and varied methodological and theoretical toolkit of political economy.
You can expect to progress to work in a role like analyst, consultant or project manager – in multinational companies, consulting firms, intergovernmental organizations, international NGOs, research institutes, public administration or in the media!
