Educational Degrees of World Leaders

Law, Political Science and Economics are the most common degrees obtained by the current heads of government of the top 50 countries by GDP. But many other subjects of study make the list, as well as trade school education and military training. The only two leaders whose education was religious in nature are from the Middle East. Many of the world leaders studied in the US and UK at top universities and colleges, but a few did not complete their degrees. Most world leaders hold more than one degree and many pursued post-graduate degrees in different fields before coming to office and sometimes during their political career.
