The UTS Bachelor of Global Studies is a highly versatile, professionally oriented arts degree that takes globalisation in its political, economic and cultural manifestations as its core subject of inquiry. Students draw connections between global phenomena and concrete local practices in work and life, seeing the opportunities and constraints that exist for different groups of people. The course engages students in complex problem solving regarding global processes and events.
