About

Business plays a significant role in shaping solutions to the many local, national and global developmental challenges we face today – particularly in the age of globalisation.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of economic power shifts and rapid technological transformation amid global inequalities. You’ll develop the analytical and practical skills needed to understand globalisation processes and their drivers, and to participate in the formulation of policies for sustainable development.
