Our MA in Global Governance and Policy (GGP) has replaced the MA in International Trade and related joint degrees.
Spring 2025 was the last intake for this joint degree. While we no longer enroll students in this program, we continue to offer coursework in trade and development in our MA in MA in Global Governance and Policy.
The integrated curriculum helps you develop critical skills in international development program management, trade policy, compliance, negotiation, and the design of complex solution strategies. Students gain valuable work experience by completing a professional practicum.
To open up your global career opportunities you can take content courses in a second language and/or courses in intercultural competence.
See the curriculum for more details.
