The world faces urgent, interconnected challenges: inequality is deepening, the climate crisis is accelerating, technologies are reshaping economies and societies, and political and social systems are under pressure. On Global Prosperity MSc, you challenge dominant ideas of progress and individualistic ways of thinking that shape policy and decision-making, developing the knowledge and practical tools to help create more vibrant, sustainable and inclusive futures.
You begin by examining the global legacies that shape current ideas of progress, including colonialism, financial crises, inequality, environmental degradation and the limits of narrow economic thinking. You then explore how prosperity can be redefined for the 21st century, using new concepts, frameworks and measures that connect economic security, quality of life, social cohesion, creativity and environmental sustainability.
You build these skills through critical, creative and practical approaches to complex challenges across policy, development, sustainability, research and social innovation. You learn co-design and co-production methods grounded in lived experience, collaborative research and theoretical insight. You use these methods to test alternative approaches to prosperity and develop systemic, context-specific responses that can inform work with communities, organisations and policymakers.
Optional modules allow you to tailor your learning around your interests and career ambitions. You can explore areas such as planetary futures, social innovation, citizen social science, finance and debt, urban development, data analysis for inclusive prosperity, AI and economic transformation, China and global prosperity, and new economic thinking.
