Why study the Diploma in Global Issues?
This is an undergraduate-level multi-disciplinary concurrent program taught by the University of Queensland in conjunction with the Universities of Melbourne, British Columbia (Canada), Nottingham (United Kingdom), Lund (Sweden), and Tecnologico de Monterrey (Mexico). The program is designed to address the demands of undergraduate students with an interest in global studies and who wish to combine this study with a degree at the University of Queensland. Objectives of the program are for graduates to gain: knowledge of the current theoretical principles relating to globalisation; an ability to evaluate and synthesise the literature relating to the globalisation, and its relationship to environmental, economic, political and social change; an understanding of the interconnectedness between individuals, societies, and countries by encouraging students to consider the cultural, environmental, economic and political dimensions of globalisation. Students are expected to complete a portion of the program through at least one other partner university, whether online or by studying overseas on exchange. With six universities to choose from, applicants can take advantage of the program's innovative structure, learning about global issues in a truly global context.
