Introduction:
This course offers a unique insight into significant global issues and the ways in which societies react and cooperate to establish processes that shape our ever-changing world.
If you want to understand the changing world in which we live and you’re concerned about pressing global crises then this is the perfect course for you.
The need for understanding how our world is connected, but also divided, has never been greater. Cultural and social crises are impacting on everyday experience, while work, leisure and identity can only be understood through the global structures that mediate them.
This course will help you develop a greater awareness of the complexity and connectedness of the processes that shape our worlds. You’ll study diplomatic relations, international communications, the inequalities between developed and developing countries, and examine international flows of people, texts, images and ideas at place in our interconnected world.
It’s a great opportunity to engage with the world as a global citizen, while gaining a qualification tailored to the international workplace.
- This degree offers work placement opportunities.
- Study this course full-time or part-time. See How to Apply section.
