Location of Loughborough University
Globalization impinges on all our lives. Never before have local economies and communities been shaped so greatly by global change. If we wish to understand the future of our ‘local’ world, whether for success in business, work for local government or benefit for the community, it makes sense to learn more about the processes of contemporary globalization.
This programme provides a comprehensive and critical understanding of how globalization is transforming social, cultural and political life. Inter-disciplinary in focus, the programme is designed to help you gain expertise and skills in the processes that shape the modern world. It provides a detailed and wideranging analysis of the key features of contemporary economic, political, social and cultural globalization.
The programme is taught by staff who are recognized as leading international scholars in the study of globalization. The Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) research network is based here and we also have a reputation for research into the implications of globalization for the ‘developing’ world, citizenship and identity, global geopolitics and other facets of globalization. The research expertise of staff spans the globe and includes experience in regions as diverse as Central and Latin America, Western and Eastern Europe, Southern Africa, Pacific Asia and Australia.
The programme is particularly relevant for recent graduates in social sciences disciplines, as well as business people, government and voluntary sector employees, planners, teachers and local community representatives who are interested in extending their knowledge and skills in globalization studies.
