| What it is | This program focuses on how communities can build stronger local economies and improve social conditions, drawing on economics and international development theory. Unlike a straight economics degree, it emphasizes practical solutions to real-world problems in specific neighbourhoods and regions, rather than broad financial systems. It suits students who want to understand economic inequality and development but prefer hands-on community work over abstract theory or corporate finance. | This three-year degree combines economics with international development to study how communities build sustainable economic and social systems. Unlike a straight economics program, you focus on real-world development challenges in low-income regions and learn practical approaches to poverty reduction and local growth. It suits people who want to understand global inequality and work on solutions, rather than study economic theory alone. | This program combines the study of global economics, politics, and development issues to understand how countries and communities interact in an interconnected world. You'll examine poverty, trade, governance, and social change across different regions, drawing on economics, political science, and other disciplines. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work placements with organizations focused on international development or global affairs, making it a fit for students who want practical experience alongside theory. |
