Economics and International Relations

About this course

Economics and international relations are disciplines that belong together.

Studying them jointly gives you a richer understanding of how the world actually works than either could provide alone. At Queen Mary University of London, this four-year full-time programme develops your grounding in economic theory and quantitative methods alongside a substantive engagement with international politics, global governance and the history of international relations.
