Capital University

What you'll study

This four‑year undergraduate programme combines social science theory with applied methods to explore how global interconnections shape societies, markets and the environment. Core themes include the history and theory of globalisation, international political economy, global governance, migration and transnationalism, culture and media in a global era, and the global dimensions of sustainability.

Typical modules and units include:

• Introduction to Globalisation: key concepts, historical trajectories and major debates.
• International Political Economy: trade, finance, multinational corporations and development policy.
• Global Governance and International Institutions: the UN system, regional organisations and transnational regulatory regimes.
• Migration, Diaspora and Identity: causes of migration, social integration and policy responses.
• Culture, Media and Global Communication: global cultural flows, media industries and soft power.
• Environmental Globalisation and Sustainability: global environmental challenges and policy options.
• Research Methods for Global Studies: qualitative and quantitative techniques, data analysis and ethical research practice.
• Capstone Project or Senior Thesis: an independent research project or practicum integrating disciplinary perspectives.
• Experiential Learning: options for internships, community engagement, and study‑away or exchange programmes to gain practical international experience.

The programme encourages language study and electives from economics, political science, anthropology, environmental studies and business to tailor learning to career goals.

Entry requirements

Admission to the Bachelor’s in Globalization typically requires a completed secondary school qualification (high school diploma or equivalent) with a competitive academic record, a personal statement outlining your interest in international issues, and at least one academic reference. Applicants may be asked to submit their transcripts and information on relevant coursework in social studies, history, economics or languages.

Standardised tests may be considered where applicable; policies on tests vary and prospective students should consult the university admissions office for current guidance. International applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency by providing recognised test scores or evidence of prior education in English, unless otherwise exempted.

Transfer applicants and mature students are welcomed; transfer credit is assessed on an individual basis. Relevant work experience, volunteer service or international exposure can strengthen an application for the experiential elements of the programme.
