Course summary

Overview Is foreign policy a zero-sum game? Is globalisation helping or harming the world? Should we move towards a single global currency? These are just some of the complex issues you’ll explore on our MSc in Economics and International Relations. This unique interdisciplinary programme equips you with the analytical tools and critical insight to understand—and influence—the economic and political forces shaping our world. As part of our Academic and Professional Programme, this rewarding MSc is designed for those who may not have previously studied economics but are eager to develop essential economic skills and apply them to real-world issues in international relations. Our dynamic teaching approach includes lectures, workshops, student presentations, group activities, IT lab sessions, and guest lectures. You’ll study at both the School of Economics and the School of Politics, enjoying the combined expertise of both faculties. From day one, we’ll provide tailored support to help you succeed. This begins with an intensive pre-sessional programme covering topics such as calculus, statistical methods in the context of economics, and an introduction to STATA, the econometric software you’ll use throughout your studies. Over the course of the year, you’ll also receive training in the use of various online data sources, which will support your dissertation research. You’ll explore international economics and international relations through an interdisciplinary lens, gaining a deeper understanding of global institutions, foreign policy, and the analytical tools of an economist. You’ll also study microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, international relations theory, and international trade. From there, you’ll have the flexibility to tailor your studies to suit your interests and career ambitions by choosing from a wide range of exciting optional modules. Your dissertation is then the capstone of your MSc—an opportunity to apply your skills to a research topic of your choice, under expert guidance. You may even choose to collaborate with external organisations, gaining valuable work-based experience. Alongside world-class academic training, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a vibrant student experience here at UEA, in the historic city of Norwich. The School of Economics will support your career ambitions with employer visits, alumni networking, and tailored guidance to help boost your employability skills and confidence. Whether you’re aiming for a role in government, finance, or want to work for global institutions like the IMF and World Bank – or pursue a PhD – this course will help you to excel.
