Location of University of Buckingham
The MA in Global Affairs is a broad based, multi-disciplinary programme unique to Buckingham. The original programme was innovatively designed and founded as a gift to the University of Buckingham by alumnus Charles Henn L.Arts(Hons)(Buckingham), M.Sc.[Econ.] (LSE), LL.M., Ph.D (Cantab.) who was Consultant Professor and who continues in an honorary capacity as the programme’s Founding Director. Dr Henn is also a Senior Visiting Fellow of the Beloff Centre for the Study of Liberty.
The programme aims to educate graduates for rapid advancement into senior professional work in foreign and other ministries, international organisations, financial and commercial institutions, trade and industry, international journalism and global civil society organisations. Areas of study include global economies and finance; public international law; international law relating to trade, investment and finance; global governance; global security; human rights; environmental issues; global diplomacy; and global business. Students are trained in the skills that would be required in senior professional work. The courses are taught intensively in lectures, seminars and small group tutorials; they assume little prior knowledge but rapidly bring students to an advanced level of understanding. Buckingham is a small academic community and students have personal and frequent access to their instructors. The programme is also suitable for those without a specific career aim in mind but who wish to acquire an advanced understanding of global affairs.
