The BA (Hons) Global Development with Economics with a Year Abroad at the University of East Anglia is designed for inquisitive minds eager to understand and address the complex disparities in global wealth and well-being. If you are driven by questions about why poverty persists, how development interventions succeed or fail, and the intricate relationship between global economics and local realities, this degree is for you. You will explore critical perspectives on global development and delve into the economic principles that underpin growth, inequality, and policy-making, preparing you to contribute meaningfully to a more equitable world.
This full-time undergraduate programme, studied on campus over four years, offers a comprehensive journey through development economics and global challenges. You will engage with core economic principles in year one, build quantitative skills and explore micro and macroeconomics for development in year two, and focus on globalisation and economic development in year three. Your fourth year is dedicated to an invaluable year abroad, providing immersive international experience. You will graduate with a deep understanding of development issues and strong analytical skills, ready for careers in international organisations, NGOs, government, or further postgraduate study.
