Bachelor of Global Studies – BGS
Become a leader of positive change, growth, and problem solving with our diverse and flexible Bachelor of Global Studies. Studying in Wellington, you will connect with change-makers and be ready to launch an exciting career, locally or internationally.
Focusing on what matters to you
Globalisation and the things it brings with it—good, bad, and ugly—dominate the way that we think and interact in the world today.
From politics, law, and human rights, to health and wellbeing, to the environment and sustainability, to business—we understand that the personal is political and that local decisions can have a big impact in the wider world.
The Bachelor of Global Studies is a qualification that takes you across disciplines and allows you to focus on different aspects of the issues at the heart of our globally connected world—while developing your knowledge of te ao M?ori and Aotearoa’s place in the global context.
