MA International Politics (Globalization, Poverty and Development)

1 Year On Campus Masters Program

Newcastle University

Program Overview

I appreciate your detailed request, but I need to be transparent about a limitation with the search results provided.

The search results contain information about several Newcastle University postgraduate programs in politics and international studies—including International Politics (Critical Geopolitics), International Relations, International Politics (Global Justice and Ethics), International Political Economy, and Development, Environment and International Politics—but they do not include specific information about an MA in International Politics (Globalisation, Poverty and Development).

While one search result mentions "the growing tensions between the 'globalising' world economy" and "the persistence and causes of poverty" in the context of the International Political Economy program, this doesn't appear to be the specific program you're referencing.

To create an accurate and persuasive marketing overview for the MA International Politics (Globalisation, Poverty and Development) program, I would need:

- The official program page or prospectus with the specific curriculum structure
- Module details for each year of study
- Program-specific learning outcomes
- Accreditation information
- Employment data relevant to this particular program

I recommend:

1. Verifying the exact program title on Newcastle University's postgraduate website
2. Locating the official program page (similar to the URLs in these results)
3. Providing those official sources so I can create compelling, accurate marketing content

This ensures your promotional material is grounded in the actual program details rather than making assumptions that could mislead prospective students.
