Course Overview

During our four-year BA Global Studies with Politics (including the foundation year), we work with you to develop your subject-specific knowledge, and to improve your academic skills. You receive a thorough grounding in these areas during your foundation year (known as Year Zero) to prepare you for a further three years of undergraduate study at Essex.

You are an Essex student from day one, a member of our global community-based at the most internationally diverse campus university in the UK.

To understand the contemporary challenges that exist in our world, we must understand the geographies, politics, histories, and relations that have shaped our environment. In this course, you will investigate how democracies operate, how our world is shaped by dominant ideas of capitalism and colonialism, and how historical events affect current affairs.

General Eligibility


UK and EU applicants:

  • All applications for degree courses with a foundation year (Year Zero) will be considered individually, whether you

  • think you might not have the grades to enter the first year of a degree course;

  • have non-traditional qualifications or experience (e.g. you haven’t studied A-levels or a BTEC);

  • are returning to university after some time away from education; or

  • are looking for more support during the transition into university study.

    Standard offer:

  • Our standard offer is 72 UCAS tariff points from at least two full A-levels or equivalent.

  • Examples of the above tariff may include:

  • A-levels: DDD

  • BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: MMP

  • T-levels: Pass with an E in core

International & EU entry requirements
