Economist Education is giving professionals a geopolitical grounding
Four participants explain what they’ve learned from our course
As great-power rivalries and regional conflicts destabilise the world order, businesses must adapt their strategies. Over six weeks, learners on our course, International relations: China, Russia, the US and the future of geopolitics, benefit from the insights of The Economist’s editors and correspondents, who draw on first-hand experience of global events and trends. Here is what some participants have said about the programme since it was launched in 2021:
This course is excellent. While I thought I had a good grasp of geopolitics and international relations before, the programme deepened my understanding and challenged my thinking about how the world really works. It offers insights from many journalists at The Economist and outside experts, who contextualise major world events and trends and provide a framework for understanding world affairs. The course materials are great and the experienced tutors improve the offering.

I recommend this course to anyone looking to understand how our world works—and may work in future. The programme covers the important geopolitical questions of our age and equips learners to think about them in the context of their own work. Overall, this course was very useful for my learning and development.
Account director, Fire on the Hill
I have read The Economist for many years. This course deepened my knowledge of events that are key to understanding the world and their possible future consequences for humanity.
Group controller, Boston Scientific
An excellent course from start to finish: the best of its type that I’ve experienced. The weekly modules are well-structured; the content is comprehensive but not overwhelming, with a great mix of reading material alongside videos and podcasts from subject-matter experts. My grasp of the topic has increased greatly. The interactive elements, such as discussion forums, allowed us to read a broad range of viewpoints from other participants, while the course tutors guided the conversation and expanded on certain points. The online support was very good, and the assignment feedback helped broaden my understanding and encouraged me to improve.
