Breadth Major in Global Studies (BM0028.1)

The Global Studies major prepares students to be active global citizens who can find creative ways of addressing the challenges faced by the international community. The major helps students understand cultural diversity, and socio-cultural change in local communities and transnationally. It develops the intellectual tools for engaging in critical reflection and problem solving in relation to major global challenges such as environmental degradation, resource scarcity, climate change, and social justice. The major is open to students from all courses in the university, and would particularly benefit students who want to apply their knowledge and skills in the modern globalised world.
