The Master of Global Affairs

The world has changed. Economic and geopolitical realignment, as well as changes in technology and media, are rapidly eroding established orthodoxies. Corporations, governments, and civil-society organizations are navigating an uncharted global environment. Today, to become global leaders, students need not only the core functional disciplines that professional schools offer, but also a deep understanding of the broader architecture of global society and the forces that shape it.

The Master of Global Affairs (MGA) program combines training in analytical methods and practical management skills with an immersion in the latest thinking on global issues. The degree positions graduates to accelerate their careers in business, government and NGOs, as these sectors pursue their strategies in an increasingly interconnected and multipolar world.

Research at the Munk School of Global Affairs

  1. The Munk School fosters an environment to attract top researchers in global affairs interested in innovative, collaborative work that moves beyond individual research projects. We define our field broadly to encompass the full range of academic disciplines and to highlight the importance of interdisciplinary approaches.
  2. The Munk School and its constituent centres are incubators. We encourage risk-taking, and we provide seed money and staff support to help researchers test out new ideas, explore key policy implications, and apply for major externally funded grants. The programs and projects that succeed are those that become a magnet for such grants and establish an important node in international research networks.
