MSc International Business and Politics

In recent years, interest in the relationship between international business and politics has increased. This programme sets out to explore concepts, approaches and methods from a truly interdisciplinary perspective and offers a rich and stimulating basis for postgraduate study. The degree offers a framework for exploring the changing relationship between states and markets, international institutions of global political-economic governance, transnational companies, work, geo-politics, industrialisation and development.

Throughout this programme you will develop advanced and critical understandings of the politics of international business from various intellectual perspectives, from neo-liberal and mainstream business studies approaches, through to more critical approaches which engage with questions of power and resistance.

You’ll be studying in one of the financial capitals of the world, home to a wealth of resources in and around the University such as the London Stock Exchange and the British Library. As part of this exciting course, you’ll be able to keep up to date with the latest changes in global politics and discuss them with like-minded peers in lively group sessions.
