1) Why a new Degree in Global Studies?

The academic and professional interest of this new Degree relies on four complementary observations:

□ The rising number of profound, global challenges that can only be effectively managed if they are addressed simultaneously and in a coordinated manner by relevant local, national, regional and global actors.

□ The gradual crystallization of a genuine global society for the first time in History.

1) Why a new Degree in Global Studies?

□ The need for transdisciplinary, plural and professionally-oriented study programs aimed at describing, exploring, analyzing, and understanding globalization and global phenomena.

□ The lack of such programs in the Spanish and European academic contexts – many programs address some of these challenges, but very few offer a transdisciplinary, integrated approach.

2) Who is the new Degree addressed to? What will students do afterwards?

□ The new Degree is addressed to students from all over the world that have completed their secondary education, as well as to recent graduates in Economics, History, Political Science, Law, Humanities, etc., seeking to broaden their understanding of globalization and the dynamics of global society.

2) Who is the new Degree addressed to? What will students do afterwards?

□ Future graduates in Global Studies will not be mere analysts of the present, but active designers of the future ready to cope with existing and emerging global challenges.

□ Future graduates will work in national, regional, and local governments, international organizations, multinational corporations, think tanks, global mass media, private authorities, political parties, research institutions, non-governmental organizations, etc.

3) What are the main features of the new Degree in Global Studies?

□ 4 year program of 240 ECTS.

□ The Degree will offer a total of 80 places that would be open for both local (40 places) and foreign students (40 places).

□ The new Degree includes a minimum academic stay of one term (20 ECTS) at a foreign university, but it may be extended to a whole year.

3) What are the main features of the new Degree in Global Studies?

□ All compulsory courses will be conducted in English. Electives will be offered in English and Spanish, so as to allow students to complete the program entirely in English or to combine courses in both languages.
