International Development Strand
Understand differences in living standards – and how to change them – with this innovative programme on international development.
Overview
Why are some countries rich, while others seem to have been poor for generations? Does microfinance improve the lives of women in rural India? How can we make sure that the global integration of goods, capital and labour markets works for the benefit rather than the detriment of the poor?
Questions such as these – and the tools to answer them – lie at the heart of the International Development strand of the MSc in Economics at Trinity College Dublin. Our strand aims to make you familiar with the latest topics, methods and policies employed in the economics of International Development. As our graduate, you will be well-placed to pursue a successful career in the private sector, government, international organizations, non-governmental organisations, or prepare yourself for a career in economic research.
