Transnationalism refers to the increasing interconnectedness between people and organisations that transcends the idea of nations. By choosing this major, you will discover and analyse cultural expressions of what it means to live in a transnational world.
You will be able to choose from a range of arts, including architecture, painting, cinema, literature, music and dance, and you will be able to build your own areas of focus within the major.

As a Global Studies graduate, you will be a competent global citizen. In addition to language skills and related regional knowledge, your research skills and strong practical knowledge will prepare you for leadership roles in a variety of sectors including foreign affairs, NGOs, international media, education and tourism.
