The Master of Arts in Global Political Economy and Finance is a 30-credit graduate program offering students an advanced comprehension of the international economic system within its historical framework. This program delivers critical political-economic perspectives on modern global capitalism while equipping students with cutting-edge analytical techniques in political economy and finance.
Beyond delivering rigorous training in economic and statistical methods, this MA program establishes a solid foundation in both historical and current political economy and financial studies, concluding with either an internship or supervised research experience.

This degree prepares graduates for further academic pursuits in economics, finance, business administration, and similar disciplines while developing the analytical capabilities and policy expertise necessary for professional roles in financial services, public sector, corporate environments, and global development organizations.
