Committed to creating an equitable, ethical and sustainable future
The School of Global Affairs offers four master’s degrees, each of which provides distinctive yet interconnected opportunities to develop the skills, knowledge, relationships and partnerships needed to meet the global challenges of our time.
Uniquely, the four programmes are built around a shared ethos and learning architecture. Programme-specific modules build in-depth knowledge of your chosen topic, while cross-programme modules offer global leadership skills and practical collaborations with strategic external partners.
Teaching, research and engagement activities are integrated across the four programmes, while opportunities to critically engage with global affairs, the environment, AI and health are embedded throughout. All four master’s degrees address these key themes through the lenses of the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Our distinctive approach places language learning squarely in a global context. We see language learning as a means to enhance awareness and understanding of different cultures.
Our degree programmes offer the opportunity to acquire both high-level language skills and a thorough understanding of international cultures and societies. We provide beginners to advanced levels, covering contemporary aspects of the English-, French-, Spanish-, Chinese-, German- and Italian-speaking worlds.
We also offer a range of short courses via our Languages for All programme, which currently includes Arabic, Dutch and Korean as well as French, Spanish, Chinese, German and Italian.
Our popular MA Translation provides linguistic and technical skills for specialist industries such as legal, technical or medical translation.
We are committed to creating a fair and inclusive environment for our staff, students, partners and visitors. Equality, diversity and inclusion is an integral part of the School’s plans and activities.
We are part of the University-wide effort to encourage and nurture gender equality and diversity in Higher Education. Since achieving the Bronze Athena SWAN award in 2019, our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion committee has been pro-actively working on initiatives to further enhance equality, diversity and inclusion.
