Looking around the world, there are incredible differences between rich and poor countries. Being born in the richest countries can mean you are expected to live up to 30 years longer and earn over 100 times more per year than if you were born in the poorest countries.
On this degree you will explore where these differences come from, as well as discovering the policies and processes that can reduce poverty and inequality. You’ll acquire the ability to think like an economist about important world issues, using data and becoming familiar with models of how the world works. You will study microeconomics and macroeconomics, explore definitions of economic development, and investigate the relationship between poverty, economic development and trade theories, exclusion and deprivation. You’ll also address economic and broader socio-political processes, the relationship between economy and the environment in different world regions, and globalisation and its effects. This degree is ideal if you wish to contribute effectively to development policy and practice, particularly where economics is the dominant specialty. |
