The MSc International Political Economy at LSE offers a multidisciplinary perspective on global economic and power relations, focusing on the interactions between markets and politics. The curriculum covers topics such as international money and finance (with reference to events like the 2008 financial crisis), international trade and investment, globalization, and the international political economy of the environment. Students gain rigorous training in multiple theoretical perspectives (constructivism, rationalism, historical) and methodological approaches (quantitative, qualitative, critical). The program is housed in LSE's Department of International Relations, one of the world's most prominent IR departments. Students from diverse academic backgrounds join, and graduates pursue careers in international organizations, finance, consultancy, government, and research.
