Bachelor of Arts - Global Studies with Sustainability (Including Year Abroad) (C903)

The challenges facing today’s world are profoundly international. From the migrant crisis to global warming, contemporary challenges require graduates who bring a global perspective and broad skills to the workplace. This BA Global Studies with Sustainability will equip students with a broad range of skills to become an active participant in a crucial time of change. Students will study some of today’s most pressing issues from the migrant crisis to global warming and they’ll acquire a global perspective to face contemporary challenges. Housed in the School of Philosophical, Historical and Interdisciplinary Studies, the campus hub for interdisciplinary teaching, this course combines a broad, flexible education across the humanities and social sciences with a spine of modules dedicated to developing students' knowledge of the climate crisis and the role of sustainability in responding to it. The four-year version of this degree allows students to spend the third year abroad or employed on a placement abroad, while otherwise remaining identical to the three-year course. Studying abroad allows students to experience other cultures and languages, to broaden their degree socially and academically, and to demonstrate to employers that they are mature, adaptable, and organised.
