  • you can communicate effectively across cultures, and in different cultural contexts
  • you have understanding of how your actions and those of others can have global implications

See diagram below for the full list of steps you will need to complete. 

Global topics for 2024/25

You will attend in-person sessions on 2 topics*, choose from the below options. 

Biodiversity Crisis

Life on earth is beautiful, complex, diverse and reliant on all other life for survival. While you read these words, our extraordinary and unique inheritance is diminishing rapidly. Humanity, through its growing understanding of its impact, the remarkable interconnectedness of all living things and our growing understanding of how to live sustainably is seeking to slow the decline. This will be an opportunity to understand what it is at stake, be introduced to key issues, concepts and practical work in the subject area.

Cultural Intelligence

Cultural Intelligence, or CQ, measures your capability to relate and work effectively in culturally diverse situations. Your CQ predicts your readiness for working and relating effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds. You will investigate how you acquire cultural intelligence and what happens if you don’t bother!

Artificial Intelligence

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries in unprecedented ways. Dig deeper into the opportunities and implications of AI in jobs, healthcare, data protection and academic integrity in a series of fascinating lectures.

A World Where Refugees Are Welcomed

This session will seek to separate the myths from the facts about asylum seekers. We will explore the challenges refugees face in the UK and how the Government has responded. We will also discuss why all humans should have dignity and safety beyond borders.

 

*Please note, topics are subject to change.
