Summary
Business plays a significant role in shaping solutions to the many local, national and global developmental challenges we face today, particularly during the age of globalisation. In this Masters in Globalisation and International Development based at IDS, you will examine the key elements of business operations and its growing relevance to international development.
You will gain an in-depth understanding of economic power shifts and rapid technological transformation amid global inequalities. You’re equipped with the analytical and practical skills needed to understand globalisation processes and their drivers, and to participate in the formulation of policies for sustainable development.
**World-leaders in development studies**
The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) delivers world-class research, learning and teaching that transforms the knowledge, action and leadership needed for more equitable and sustainable development globally. IDS is ranked first in the world for development studies, in partnership with the University of Sussex.
**Who is the degree for?**
We welcome applicants with a broad range of career trajectories. Successful applicants will have some practical experience in development alongside an interest in critical academic enquiry. Many of our students are private sector consultants, business analysts, NGO staff, policy or research officers, civil servants or other development professionals. Whatever your background, you will want to gain a deeper understanding of globalisation and the relationship between business and international development and will be asking questions such as:
- What are the impacts of globalisation, both locally and regionally?
- What can be done to successfully manage the potential outcomes of these impacts?
- What strategies can countries employ to effectively engage in the global economy?
- How do businesses and policymakers approach issues affecting private sector development and economic growth?
- How can I identify the policies needed to promote private sector growth?
- How can I engage with policymakers in both the private and public sectors?
