MSc Political Economy of Development at SOAS

Hello,

I did Political Economy at SOAS in 2015/2016. It was well structured and I personally found it to be very useful - lots of critical discussions and different perspectives.

Just don't touch Globalisation and Development at SOAS :P Not well-structured and poorly facilitated.

All the best!

Hi everyone,

I applied for the MSc in Economics and MSc in Development Economics but I was offered an alternative program instead - the MSc in Political Economy of Development.

Does anyone have any experience of this program or know anyone who is studying / studied it? I have been trying to search online but haven't found much.

I would love to work in the policy arena of the World Bank or Asian Development Bank so I am wondering if an MSc in Economics or MSc in Development Economics would be better than an MSc in Political Economy in the job market.

Any input would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi,

I am going to study MSc Political Economy of Development at SOAS this year, and I would also like to know more about this programme.
Could you please share your experience a bit more with us? What do you usually do in class? Does this programme need quantitative skills as much as other economics programmes (because it covers politics, I am a little confused)?

Many thanks!
