Description

Objective:

The global politics assessment allows students to demonstrate their skills on how the world they live in works, and what makes it change (or prevents it from changing). The assessment draws on a variety of disciplinary traditions in the study of politics and international relations, and more broadly in the social sciences and humanities. Students demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the local, national, international, and global dimensions of political activity and processes by critically engaging with contemporary political issues and challenges.

Skills Measured:

• evaluate power in contemporary global politics
• examine how state and non-state actors operate and interact within political systems
• investigate and analyse contemporary political issues and challenges from multiple perspectives
• demonstrate a lifelong commitment to active global citizenship through collaboration and agency.
