Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies with Politics (With Foundation Year)

Program Overview

On our four-year BA Global Studies with Politics (including 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.

How have societies interacted with one and other over time? How do we manage the relationships and conflicts between nations? What impact has globalisation had on our political economies and cultures? These are all profound questions of the modern world we live in.

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.

You will study topics including but not limited to:

  • War, and the war on terror
  • International relations
  • Political power
  • Globalisation
  • Migration

At Essex we train our students to be fearless and independent, to question everything and to draw on the broadest possible range of facts and ideas.
