Course content

Why is it so difficult to solve global problems like climate change? Is globalisation driving inequality, or does the expansion of international trade provide opportunities for developing countries? Does globalisation call for a radical overhaul of existing institutions?

If these are the sort of questions that fascinate you, our MA in Globalisation, Business and Sustainable Development programme is for you. This dynamic course equips you with the tools to critically analyse globalisation and its impact on international development.

Globalisation is a defining force in today’s world, and its impact on international development continues to spark vigorous debate. On this course, you’ll explore major development concepts through a sustainability lens, examining environmental, economic, and social outcomes. You’ll also analyse resistance to globalisation and how this has played out in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

At UEA, our acclaimed MA programme takes a distinctive interdisciplinary approach, blending insights from economics, politics, sociology, and environmental studies to examine the multifaceted impacts of globalisation. You’ll learn from leading academics in the School of Global Development—ranked 1st in the UK for development studies research (THE REF Analysis 2021)—and engage in contemporary debates that shape today’s global development landscape. This dynamic environment will empower you to form and refine your own informed perspective.

Upon graduation, you’ll have gained comprehensive knowledge in the field of globalisation, business, and sustainable development. Many of our alumni have secured rewarding roles in international governmental and non-governmental organisations, local governments, charities, NGOs, social enterprises, as well as private sector consultancies and think tanks.
