Location of Linköping University
In every part of the world, governments are urging citizens to train or educate themselves for competition in the global economy.
Advocates of this argument claim that regional or local trade arrangements are no longer viable in a world where connective technologies can move influence, resources and purchasing power with a simple mouse click. Critical discourses on globalisation, however, require an ability to learn in situations that span vast cultural and geographic divides. And working globally sometimes calls for “fluency” in several cultures.
Four universities
This programme design is unique in the sense that four universities in four different continents collaborate. These are:
- Linköping University
- University of British Columbia, Vancouver,
- University of Western Cape, Cape Town
- Monash University, Melbourne
Graduates of the programme will:
- Learn and teach globally
- Use global connective technologies
- Understand knowledge-based societies and the implications for learning
- Understand globalisation discourses
- Develop cultural sensibilities and sensitivities
- Develop an equality perspective to learning, and reframe their own professional practices
Contents
The programme is intended for adults who need to understand learning and global change. The content will benefit people working in formal educational settings, business and industry, activist organisations, governments, non-governmental organisations, healthcare and numerous other settings where discourses of globalisation are changing people’s lives.
Distance learning
The mode of delivery is online distance learning without campus-based meetings. Students must have reliable and regular e-mail and Internet access. The program is part-time over two years resulting in a one-year Master´s Degree.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
