    MA Global Political Economy vs MA International Politics and Human Rights
    Hi everyone.

    I got accepted by City University London for the MAs mentioned in the title.

    Has anyone done the course? Does anyone know the employability after graduation for these courses?

    Thank you.

    Re: MA Global Political Economy vs MA International Politics and Human Rights
    I didn't actually do the courses but I'm an undergrad in IP at City at the moment.

    In general, the MA Global Political Economy is a lot more economics and even finance focused, so I would imagine for someone with an interest in a career with an economics/business/finance (or relevant policy or research) focus, this course is more suitable. The MA IP and HR actually falls under the Department of Sociology, so is a lot more sociology/research methods focused and therefore more relevant to careers in NGOs / HR / social advocacy / writing (or relevant policy or research). Not too sure about employment stats, but I just thought I'd say this in case this helps.
