Global Affairs MSc

King's College London, University of London

This Global Affairs MSc examines the politics, society, economics and history of the world’s regional and rising powers and their role in a changing world order, focusing on regions beyond Western Europe and North America. You’ll study global affairs from a non-Western perspective, with modules concentrating on particular regions, as well as cross-cutting thematic issues, and research supervision within the King's Global Institutes. You’ll build in-depth expertise in at least two regions, including Africa, Brazil, China, India, Russia and the Middle East, while situating them within a global perspective. This MSc offers the flexibility to either showcase your research skills by producing a dissertation or gain practical experience by working on an applied group policy project that will develop your ability to investigate real-world challenges and policy problems. You’ll graduate from this global affairs master’s with a range of skills, including intercultural competence, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and the ability to plan and conduct research. You’ll develop the kinds of specialist regional knowledge, research skills and awareness of yourself as a global citizen that are valued by employers, policy-makers and scholars.
