UCL Institute for Global Prosperity

For the past ten years, we have been at the forefront of redesigning prosperity for the 21st century. We are transforming the way economies are conceived and managed and redefining our relationship with the planet. Our vision is to build a prosperous, sustainable global future, rooted in fairness and justice, and aligned with a realistic, long-term understanding of humanity's place in the world.

Our master's degrees equip ambitious, entrepreneurial students with new approaches to prosperity, innovation and ecological economics.

• Prosperity, People and Planet MSc - explore new approaches to ecological economics, and the knowledge and skills to design sustainable prosperity.
• Global Prosperity MSc - gain new perspectives on prosperity, learn approaches to understand and influence economies of the world and how they impact people.
• Prosperity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship MSc – embrace a progressive perspective to advance transformative entrepreneurship, social innovation and societal impact.

Through pioneering research, we are dedicated to significantly improving the quality of life for current and future generations. Our strength lies in combining intellectual creativity with effective collaboration and policy development. A key aspect of our approach is the integration of non-academic expertise into our knowledge generation process, engaging with governments, policymakers, businesses, civil society, the arts, and local communities. 

Depending on your ambitions, a degree in global prosperity can open an array of career opportunities across policy, social and sustainable entrepreneurship, education, government, the third sector, business and academia. Our graduates go on to leadership roles in the public and private sector, working in government and civil service, in sustainability and business, and in NGOs and the third sector.
