Science and Technology Studies - Global Citizenship Programme
The Global Citizenship programme draws on UCL's expertise in science studies, history, politics, media studies, sociology and anthropology, to enable you to understand citizenship both as a significant intellectual concern of our time, and as a programme of action that will empower you to make changes for a better world.
This programme is designed to allow you to draw on, and work with, many experts and professional institutions engaged in science and citizenship issues across UCL and the vibrant capital city of London itself.
Your courses, including some compulsory elements, have been designed to equip you with a critical and practical sense of what it means to be a global citizen in the twenty-first century. These will mainly be taught in Science and Technology Studies, a department with a strong record of interdisciplinary research and teaching You will complement these courses by selecting courses, taught in UCL's other departments, from a prescribed list.
Teaching will be in lectures and seminars. Assessment is by examination and coursework. Alternative assessment is available for students not attending the full year.
Full-year students on the Global Citizenship programme must take the Action for Global Citizenship course, and at least two further courses from within the Global Citizenship provision. They may then choose one course from those offered across the whole of UCL, and make up the remainder of their credits from other Global Citizenship courses, or from courses in other UCL departments included in the prescribed list below. Fall Term or Spring/Summer Term students will take half the number of credits made up from those courses running in the terms attended.
