What global challenges are the most pressing at the moment? How can we understand them and innovate to improve them? What impact has the technological revolution had on these global challenges? How might they be addressed with low-tech solutions?
In this highly interactive module, you will undertake collaborative tasks to develop your understanding of global issues. Along with a team of like-minded students, you will be given the opportunity to focus on a global issue that interests you.
As well as your own area of detailed study, you will be able to inspire and encourage the progress of other teams by reviewing their work and finding out about the issues that they have been studying.

"I loved working on this module in my first term at uni. The activities we did each week were very innovative and sparked creative thinking. This module inspired me to expand my horizons (quite literally!), and think in a broader way."
I really enjoyed this module. The collaboration and talent of the people in my group were incredible. Global Challenges forced me out of my comfort zone and working in a group further encouraged me.
I've enjoyed being able to express myself and my beliefs, and have been inspired by the interests of others.
