Bachelor of Global Studies

Step into a future where you can make a real impact with a Bachelor of Global Studies, a degree designed for students who want to understand and respond to today’s interconnected world. Studying in Wellington places you close to policy, culture, and international dialogue, giving you the chance to engage with people who are actively shaping change at both local and global levels.

This programme explores how globalisation influences everyday life—across areas such as politics, human rights, law, health, sustainability, and business. You’ll see how decisions made in one place can affect communities around the world, and how local actions connect to broader global outcomes.

With its flexible and interdisciplinary approach, the Global Studies degree allows you to focus on the issues that matter most to you while building a strong understanding of Aotearoa New Zealand, including te ao Māori perspectives and the country’s role in the global landscape. It’s a pathway for students who want to think beyond borders and take part in meaningful change.
