Study economic development and globalization in Groningen and learn about the economic development of countries and the impact of economic globalization.

Increasing international trade and finance is opening up new opportunities for the growth of firms, regions and countries. At the same time, it is posing new challenges as the benefits are not equally distributed and inequality is rising. In the one-year Master's degree in Economic Development and Globalization (MSc ED&G), you will learn the tools to grasp the complex relationships between economic globalization and the economic development of regions and countries. You will use state-of-the-art economic theories to discover the impact of global trade and of financial globalization on economic growth and welfare. As you develop your skills, you will learn to recognise the forces that shape geographical patterns of economic activity. You will learn to advise firms and governments on how to reap the benefits of globalization and international value chains.

For those seeking to augment the one-year programme in Groningen, there are four possibilities to follow a Double Degree: with Fudan University (Shanghai), the University of Göttingen (Germany), Lund University (Sweden) and Corvinus University (Budapest).
