专业概况

Overview

The MSc Development Economics is the flagship Master programme offered by the SOAS Economics Department. It combines the two core intellectual traditions nurtured for decades in our unique Department: a pluralist approach to economics and a focus on real-world development issues. As pluralism in economics becomes more prominent and needed, you will find courses that offer either pluralism or development, but not both. If you are interested in understanding how the global economy works, what economic challenges and opportunities countries in the Global South face, and what to do about intensifying inequalities and ecological breakdown, the MSc Development Economics is for you.

Why is the SOAS MSc Development Economics unique?

• It provides rigorous and pluralist training in economics with a focus on development
• It advances a Global South perspective on real-world economic issues for a changing world
• It addresses intersecting inequalities and ecological challenges across foundational modules and optional ones
