Overview

Why is it so difficult to solve global problems such as climate change? Is globalisation leading to increasing inequality and poverty, or does the expansion of international trade provide new opportunities for developing countries? Does globalisation call for a radical overhaul of existing international, national and local institutions?

The process of globalisation is central to understanding our contemporary world, and the nature of globalisation and its implications for international development are hotly debated. On this Globalisation, Business and Sustainable Development course, you’ll explore key development concepts through the lens of sustainability, considering environmental, financial, and social outcomes. You’ll consider the resistance to globalisation and how this has played out in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Here at University of East Anglia , our renowned MA adopts a unique interdisciplinary approach. Your studies will integrate different disciplinary perspectives to analyse the economic, political, social, and environmental dimensions of globalisation. Our academics are world-class lecturers in their field. Contemporary debates, along with their implications for global development, are actively discussed to help you develop your own unique perspective.

Upon graduation, you’ll have gained comprehensive knowledge in the field of globalisation, business, and sustainable development. You’ll be well equipped to pursue a vibrant career in this rewarding area.

Career opportunities:

A career in international development can take you in all kinds of directions such as international organisations, governmental and non-governmental organisations, local governments, private sector and PhD programmes.

Previous graduates have gone on to work for the British High Commission in Ghana, UNITAR in Japan, the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, and PhD studies in related fields.
