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. Our BA Global Studies with Sustainability will equip you with a broad range of skills to become an active participant in a crucial time of change. You’ll study some of today’s most pressing issues from the migrant crisis to global warming and you’ll acquire a global perspective to face contemporary challenges.

Housed in our Interdisciplinary Studies Centre (ISC), 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 your knowledge of the climate crisis and the role of sustainability in responding to it.
