When you join the Global Prosperity MPhil/PhD, you become a member of an exceptional group of students from across a range of fields: from business, technology and entrepreneurship, to policy, law and environment, all of whom carry out interdisciplinary research that transcends current economic and social models. The world urgently needs research that examines and addresses the root causes of today's toughest global challenges, including (but not limited to) those that relate to inequality, social exclusion, dislocation and ecological unsustainability. The MPhil/PhD in Global Prosperity empowers students to carry out ambitious interdisciplinary research that can advance global prosperity from innovative angles. At the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity, you will be a full member of a research community of shared values. You will have the opportunity to develop your original interdisciplinary work while linking it to our exciting research areas.We will encourage you to collaborate with peers, colleagues from other disciplines and with various citizen participants and stakeholder organisations. We will also invite you to leverage our extensive network of internal and external partners.
A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, in a relevant subject, is essential. Exceptionally: where applicants have other suitable research or professional experience, they may be admitted without a Master's degree; or where applicants have a lower second-class UK Honours Bachelor's degree (2:2) (or equivalent) they must possess a relevant Master's degree to be admitted. We expect any successful application to include a sufficiently strong and convincing proposal, and those holding a Master's degree are typically well prepared to provide one. Relevant work experience is highly desirable.
