Course Overview

Your Global Challenges course is structured around a core spine of compulsory modules where you'll tap into the expertise of several departments from across the university.

In addition, you'll study a set of modules which are focused on your Security pathway to build your specialist knowledge.

Core elements of your degree have been developed to work in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). As the lead United Nations agency in tackling some of the most pressing challenges facing our world, this partnership ensures that what you’ll learn is timely, relevant and responsive.

In practice this includes working on real-life case studies that bring the skills and experience of industry experts and academics to the student learning experience, to respond to live briefs aimed at supporting the UNDP’s international development priorities.

This connection not only ensures your project work will be specific and focused but also develop your problem-solving and project delivery skills in ways that, beyond supporting your future career, have the potential to bring real-world impact through our partners.
