This course places a strong emphasis on addressing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on promoting just, peaceful, and inclusive societies, reducing poverty and hunger, ensuring health and wellbeing, achieving gender and racial equality, delivering a net zero future, dignifying work, and enabling sustainable futures through decisive climate action.
Students explore societal challenges on local, national, and global levels, adopting an interdisciplinary approach to tackle these issues directly. By combining core and optional modules across disciplines—including politics, international relations, sociology, criminology, law, health and nutrition, psychology, and sustainability—students gain a unique, comprehensive perspective that equips them to drive meaningful change. In the final year, this broad foundation enables the development of an innovative final project focused on a personal area of interest, aiming to produce practical solutions to pressing global challenges.
The course is led by a team of academic experts, and students benefit from ongoing engagement with industry professionals. Opportunities to collaborate with partner organisations provide real-world experience in addressing global challenges, engaging stakeholders, assessing the impact of public engagement, and taking an active role in creating change.
A culture of professional development, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility is embedded throughout the course. Graduates are well-prepared to pursue careers across a range of industries, applying their advanced understanding of global issues to create lasting, positive impact.
