GLOBAL STUDIES

Short Description

Our Global Studies Undergraduate Programme nurtures future global leaders by cultivating a global mindset. It is designed to respond to the increasing mobility of talent and integration of national markets, and to meet the rapidly rising demand for leaders who can negotiate international relations and geopolitics, analyse  interconnected worldwide economic and financial linkage, and react to global environmental and health challenges (e.g. climate change, pollution, pandemic).

The Programme is designed for students who:

  • are interested in global issues
  • want to equip themselves with a global and cosmopolitan vision
  • want to develop analytical and practical skills to help them think globally and act locally
  • want to prepare themselves for careers with an international orientation
There are five elective clusters in the programme:
  • Global Media and Popular Culture
  • Global Economy
  • World Politics
  • Planetary Health
  • Quantitative Methods in Global Studies

The programme contains the following major components:

  • Faculty Package
  • Resident study overseas
  • Foreign language courses
  • Student-designed interdisciplinary concentration area
  • Internship
  • Capstone courses

GLSD students are trained to work in the public and private sectors, including: 

  • Government; 
  • Multinational Corporations; 
  • Global Organizations; 
  • Non-profit Organizations; and 
  • Education Institutions. 

Graduates can also pursue postgraduate studies in the area of globalization and related fields.
