London
The School of Policy & Global Affairs is a centre of world-class scholarship,
education and public service, making a transformative impact on society. Located
in one of the world's greatest financial and political centres, we engage with
the key challenges and debates that are shaping policy formation in a rapidly
changing world. The School was formed in summer 2022, bringing together the
Department of Economics, Department of International Politics, and the
Department of Sociology and Criminology. Our highly-rated courses in these
subject areas equip students with the knowledge and skills to respond to the
world’s most pressing policy challenges. With strong links to industry and
policy organisations our graduates forge exciting careers in multinational
businesses, consultancies, government departments and non-governmental
organisations. In an increasingly uncertain world facing profound geopolitical,
environmental and socio-economic transformation, we provide policymakers,
activists, business and commercial sectors with world-class research and insight
to make sense of the changing global landscape. Through our research centres and
think tanks we are building our research intensity, delivering a significant
improvement to the impact of our research. We have international expertise in
academic areas including political economy, international relations, global
finance, behavioural and health economics, class and gender, crime and justice,
and violence and society. City’s membership of the University of London
federation helps develop research links between institutions, and foster a sense
of community with staff and students from across member universities. School
