Global Studies

Be the change you want to see in the world. 

Our Bachelor of Global Studies is the only one of its kind in New Zealand, and part of an international network of overseas universities. In a fast-changing, complex society, Global Studies addresses the need for a community of people who understand international issues, and can tackle them creatively.  

We’re an inter-faculty degree, drawing on knowledge from disciplines across the University – including Arts, Business, Law, and Science – to equip you in taking on real-world problems. You’ll apply your knowledge to practical workplace contexts, complete a research project, learn a chosen language, and develop skills for future careers.  

Drop by Level 0 in the Owen G Glenn Building to chat to our experts, attend information sessions, and discover what studying Global Studies is about.
