Global Challenges Brunel University of London

How does the challenge of mitigating climate change balance with pursuits of promoting economic growth? Why do inequalities in health, education or opportunity persist within and between countries of the Global North or Global South? Does foreign aid reduce poverty and promote human development? In what ways is migration reshaping cultures, economics or geopolitics in an increasingly integrated world? How do we promote more sustainable futures?

Wonder about these big questions? Our BASc Global Challenges equips you to tackle them.

Drawing upon research-led teaching from across the social and natural sciences and on Brunel’s longstanding expertise in professional education, this exciting new programme prepares you with critical perspectives and practical skills needed to respond to urgent global challenges in politics, society, culture, environment and development. We build on Brunel’s renowned applied research and professional development education to support each student with personalised learning opportunities; with real-world experience; with group projects in applied learning; or with placements.

The programme is designed to produce graduates who are proactive individuals equally capable of undertaking self-directed work or contributing to a shared objective as a team player: graduates who can effectively apply their knowledge to a wide range of workplaces in industry and society.
