BA (Hons) Global Studies with Politics (Including Foundation Year)

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

During our four-year BA Global Studies with Politics (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.

You are an Essex student from day one, a member of our global community-based at the most internationally diverse campus university in the UK.

To understand the contemporary challenges that exist in our world, we must understand the geographies, politics, histories, and relations that have shaped our environment. In this course, you will investigate how democracies operate, how our world is shaped by dominant ideas of capitalism and colonialism, and how historical events affect current affairs.
