The MSc Business, Political Economy and Society provides a fascinating insight into the impact of political, social, economic, technological and environmental issues on international business decisions and global strategies in an increasingly globalised world.

You will also be trained in key methodological research techniques enabling you to successfully draft business and political economic analysis.
