The MSc Development Economics is the flagship Master's programme offered by the SOAS Economics Department. It integrates two fundamental intellectual traditions that our unique Department has cultivated for decades: a rigorous pluralist theoretical approach to economics and a focus on real-world development issues using modern economic analytical tools. If you are interested in understanding the complexities of the global economy, the economic challenges and opportunities confronting countries in the Global South and addressing issues such as poverty, inequalities, climate change and environmental breakdown, and other significant development challenges, the MSc Development Economics is the ideal choice for you. Participants will delve into various schools of thought concerning economic growth and development, inflation, unemployment, inequality, money creation, climate change, and macroeconomic policy. The curriculum encompasses different perspectives on topics like market failures, the role of institutions and agents in the economy and government interventions. Students will explore theories and policies through institutional, historical, and pluralist lenses.
