The world urgently needs leaders who can transcend current economic models – associated with great wealth as well as deep social and ecological dilemmas – and create viable alternatives. The Global Prosperity MSc equips students with new approaches to prosperity and its measurement, empowering them as international transition leaders. Students understand the antecedents of today’s unsustainable economic cultures, from the history of economic growth, to inequality and the multinational corporation. They will master alternative measurements of prosperity such as the Social Progress Index while examining innovative pathways to prosperity (including the transition to renewable energy systems). There is also a focus on collective problem-solving methodologies from human-centred design (HCD) to Theory U. The mission of the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP) is to rethink human and societal prosperity, and the economic models and measurement approaches used. Prosperous communities are socially inclusive, equitable, and sustainable. Students will be encouraged to engage with a range of IGP partners, organisations, and affiliated fellows, when undertaking the dissertation, offering the option of an academic, policy- or industry-oriented project. This programme will prepare students from a range of academic backgrounds for careers in policy-making, social and sustainable entrepreneurship, education, government, the third sector, and business, as well as doctoral-level research. This degree is also available as a PG Diploma and a PG Certificate with fees set accordingly. Students will take this course in flexible study mode also.
