MSc Global Prosperity in London United Kingdom | University College London

The Global Prosperity MSc equips you to join a pioneering group of global change-makers. This program questions prevailing economic and social frameworks that have created extraordinary wealth alongside profound societal and environmental crises. Your studies will investigate potential responses to modern worldwide issues and consider how essential economic, social, and political reforms can be implemented to achieve lasting prosperity.

Our current era represents a pivotal juncture for humankind. Worldwide threats ranging from environmental crises to health emergencies jeopardize both livelihoods and wellbeing. Current economic frameworks, resource-intensive practices, and consumption patterns are pushing Earth's boundaries. While GDP-focused growth has failed to improve living standards for countless individuals, numerous populations remain excluded from 20th-century prosperity models.

The Global Prosperity MSc contends that solving these complex, interrelated problems requires a complete rethinking of prosperity's definition and implementation. Participants will examine this concept by analyzing how historical economic, political, and institutional factors have shaped contemporary prosperity frameworks. Through evaluating these legacy systems, you'll investigate various approaches and innovative projects designed to tackle global issues via collaborative design processes and the decentralization of outdated, dominant prosperity models. The program encourages critical analysis of existing solutions while developing actionable frameworks for creating equitable, transformative change across global communities.
