Course Overview

Global Studies and Languages Studies at Essex explores the complex modern world in which we live. You will examine how the problems and developments of today are profoundly international in character. Globalization has led to a shrinking of borders as travel has increased and information technology has developed rapidly. Yet, the borders constituted by language communities continue to exert a strong influence on the character of the globalized world and effective inter-language communication remains as essential as ever.
