During our four-year BA Global Studies with Business Management (including the foundation year), we work with you to develop your subject-specific knowledge, and to improve your academic skills. You receive a thorough grounding in these areas during your foundation year (known as Year Zero) to prepare you for a further three years of undergraduate study at Essex.
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 course gives you the opportunity to study the unique combination of Global Studies and management.

are returning to university after some time away from education; or
are looking for more support during the transition into university study.
