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.
