History of Global Markets (MA)

About

Why study the history of businesses and economies from a global perspective? Today's economy is organised around globally integrated markets. Capital, labour, knowledge: these factors of production are increasingly allocated competitively and across national borders. Firms and consumers find themselves interlinked through a growing network of global markets. Where did these developments originate, and how can they be understood? The "History of Global Markets" Master's degree programme is devoted to exploring these questions through historical methods. This history-focussed degree programme imparts the analytical skills of economic and social history, and it combines these skills with building a profile either in economics, business studies, or the social sciences and history. This is not a typical business or economics degree. Our focus is on the historical development of the global economy as well as business history and the history of consumption. The degree programme is open to those who have successfully completed a Bachelorâ€™s degree programme in economic and social history, modern history, or an adjacent subject with a substantial background in both history and economics. You can commence the programme in the summer or the winter semester. For students interested in a more present-day and interdisciplinary approach, the degree programme includes the "Global Markets, Local Creativities" (GLOCAL) option, which is part of an Erasmus Mundus Master's programme. This degree option is jointly offered by the universities of Glasgow, Barcelona, Uppsala, Rotterdam, Kyoto, Los Andes, and GÃ¶ttingen, and you can apply for this degree option and EU scholarships directly: http://globallocal-erasmusmundus.eu/how-to-apply/.
