Global Markets, Local Creativities (GLOCAL) is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) programme taught over 2 years by a consortium of 7 universities. This two-year International Master leverages the complementary and interdisciplinary expertise, resources and networks of seven universities.
The programme examines how local places (clusters, cities and regions) and local actors (entrepreneurs, firms and policymakers) generate local competitiveness under global market conditions, highlights the importance of historical and social context in which economic development, public policy and business strategies take place.
This programme is ideal for students seeking a career in public policy organisations, multinational corporations, international consultancies, cultural and creative industries, and non-profit organisations. Students will be encouraged to explore interdisciplinary perspectives on processes and experiences of globalisation from a place-based perspective, looking at cities, creative industries, and local cultures of entrepreneurship.
