 Global Studies

Description

Globalisation has emerged as a defining trend of the early twenty-first century. Many of the most crucial influences transforming Australia, its region, and international community are linked to processes often labelled as globalisation. Relationships between globalisation, the nation-state and national identity are also central to an understanding of the major currents of contemporary international change. Global Studies examines the interactions of nations, economies, institutions, peoples, cultures, technologies and ideas against a background of increasing international integration and changing modernity.

This innovative four-year degree program satisfies a growing demand, in Australia and abroad, for graduates who are highly skilled, well informed and equipped to meet the challenges of work in a rapidly changing global environment.

Studying Global Studies at UNSW

Global Studies is offered in one of five areas of specialisation within the Bachelor of International Studies degree. The Bachelor of International Studies is a flexible, multidisciplinary program of study undertaken at two major international universities: three years of studies at UNSW and one year of study at an approved partner university in Europe, Asia or the Americas.
