Strong foundation in economics, politics
The world is flat and we’re all backyard neighbours, whether we’re in Beijing or Brooklyn or Bedok. When economic growth was climbing in China, property prices in Singapore went up. When Greece was on the brink of bankruptcy, local and overseas share prices tumble.
The programme builds on core economic theories and important concepts of modern political thought. It develops your intellectual capacity to understand the world in political and economic terms.
You will learn the process of in-depth analysis of the global international economy and comparative politics.
Emphasis is on microeconomics, macroeconomics, understanding the state of democracy, and the democratic process.
Although this degree combination was introduced for the first time in 2015, the modules are not new and have been available to students in other degree programmes in Economics or Politics and International Relations.
This programme is ideal for those who wish to pursue a career in finance, government, research, international business or even in NGO work (where cross-cultural sensitivity is crucial).
Career prospects include financial or foreign correspondents, research analyst or consultant, risk & security analyst or consultant, corporate strategy & planning executive, public sector officials in foreign affairs, trade and economic relations, or homeland security.
Learning outcome
- Assess research practices and compare theoretical positions affecting both Economics and Politics
- Apply theoretical perspectives to real-life situations and challenges
- Understand the relationship between the political economy and public choice (the use of analytical tools of economics in the study of politics)
