As globalisation continues to shape the world, understanding its drivers, challenges, and impacts is vital for informed decision-making. 

This twelve week, Level 9 micro-credential explores how global economic integration affects national economies, institutions, and long-term development. You’ll examine critical issues such as global inequality, political instability, and climate-related disruption, learning how nations cope with and adapt to major economic shifts. 

Ideal for professionals looking to build expertise in global economic policy, this module also supports progression toward postgraduate study in economics or public policy. 

This module is associated with the Economics and Public Policy - Postgraduate Diploma. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
