The MA (Hons) Economics and Politics at the University of Dundee offers you a comprehensive understanding of the forces shaping our world, from individual economic decisions to global policy challenges. You will explore how societies manage scarce resources while analysing the complex political systems and public policies that influence national and international outcomes. This degree is ideal for students keen to develop analytical skills applicable to diverse fields, equipping you to critically assess economic trends, political structures, and their interconnectedness. Prepare to engage with subjects like macroeconomic challenges, microeconomic behaviour, and public policy formulation.
This full-time, four-year on-campus programme allows you to build a strong foundation in both economics and politics, with the flexibility to tailor your studies through optional modules in areas such as global economic perspectives, environmental studies, or world history. You will develop your analytical and research skills through core modules like 'Making of the Modern Economy' and 'Politics and Public Policy'. Upon graduation from the University of Dundee, you will be well-prepared for a wide range of careers in government, international organisations, finance, policy analysis, and the third sector, armed with a robust understanding of economic principles and political dynamics.
