We are delighted to say that we have received renewed funding from the European Union to continue the GLOCAL programme for a third consecutive project. Applicants will therefore be able to apply for Erasmus Mundus Scholarships to join the programme in 2025.

“Global Markets, Local Creativities” (GLOCAL) is an International Masters degree taught over 2 years by a consortium of 7 world class and internationally renowned universities.

Global Markets, Local Creativities is an integrated, international programme interrogating the history, theory, institutions and cultures of global capitalism. You will receive a theoretical grounding in international business and the global economy, and will be encouraged to think critically about the respective roles of individuals, firms, cities, regions, nations and supra-national bodies in determining and shaping the world in which we live. Case studies, masterclasses and guest lectures from private and public sector representatives will provide real-life insights into situations discussed in the classroom environment. Your learning experience will be further enhanced through debates with international colleagues, internship opportunities as well as the cultural aspect of the Erasmus Mundus programme.
