Bachelor Degree in Global Governance

Course Description
The course is divided into two modules.
- The first module is entitled ‘Communication Techniques and Presenting Yourself’.

The aim of this module is to strengthen each student’s confidence and skills with spoken and written English generally, as well as to build up their communication skills for inter-cultural understanding, academic requirements and working in professional environments. The themes of self-management and team-working will run through all of the course topics.

Teaching Method
A wide variety of formal, practical and creative teaching techniques and materials will be used in order to support the instruction and guidance of developing skills for clear communication, writing, public speaking, debate and self-expression. Active student involvement is expected in preparation for classes and participating in class exercises and activities

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Students will learn theories of reflective learning, self-reflection, group working, dynamic communication techniques and Public Speaking.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Students will be challenged to apply their knowledge and understanding through interactive exercises practiced in every class. They will use their Reflective Learning skills to show evidence of engagement and progress in the final written assignment.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS: The students will be expected to demonstrate Self-Management skills in the preparation for each class and Leadership and Teamworking skills in each class.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: The aim of the course is to give each student tools, approaches and practice that develop them into confident pubic speakers capable of clearly communicating and expressing personal ideas strongly in small and large, informal and formal, settings.
LEARNING SKILLS: Communication, Pulbic Speaking, Cooperation, Self-Management, Resilience, Decision-Making, Negotiation, Problem Solving, Critiical Thinking, Creativity and Reflection.

The second module is entitled ‘Introduction to Critical Human Rights Thoughts and Social Justice’.
Knowledge of communication skills, inter-cultural understanding, human rights and social justice are essential for understanding the core values of global interactions. The first module by Prof. Brown, Applied English, will strengthen student confidence with communication skills and inter-cultural understanding, as well as encourage self-management and teamwork. This second module will provide the practice for students of such skills from a human rights and social justice lens.
Knowledge is increasing becoming borderless. The world of Algorithms, artificial intelligence, cookies, and Chat Generative AI, e.g. generators, reimaginations, synthesizers, gemini, cluely among others are fast taking center stage in global governance exchanges. At his April 2025 TED Talks, Mr. Tristan Harris suggested that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ultimate test and greatest invitation. Understanding and engaging with global governance is being redefined. Students are likely to come to this module with even greater acumen of the technology companies.
This second module will introduce basic concepts to reinforce blurs between traditional/domestic boundaries in this complex environment where the most powerful private companies through manipulation, profit and control are becoming stateless superpowers, transcending boundaries as non-state authorities, determining our fundamental rights, duties and responsibilities and redefining social justice. Our biosphere is becoming a collection of internally borderless mega-regional consortiums–these amalgamations are emerging as the building blocks of the future world order.
Herein, Human rights and social justice need to encapsulate the essence of the future. As we aspire to understand the future so that our colloquy won’t just be about an idealistic past or the challenging present, we will attempt to measure our mindset from a physical and virtual connectivity, building new and more stable loyalties to a “world that is more geodesic than geographical.”

No formal pre-requisites

Course assessment

Course assessment
First Module
Students will be graded by their preparation, attendance and active class participation; also
by assessment of an individual ‘Learning Portfolio’. The Learning Portfolio will be comprised
of a collection of short assignments, which prepare students for the in-class activities, and
short reflections based on the class activities, themes and issues which arise.

The format and due date of the Learning Portfolio will be set in agreement with the class, as
will the penalties for late submission and re-submission.

The final mark will include 20% for participation in class, and 80% for the Learning Portfolio -
to include 40% for the set assignments and preparation for class, and 40% for the reflection.

Students who do not submit by the agreed due date, or fail the written work, will be required to fulfill the exam requirements of non-attending students, and be marked accordingly; or be required to submit an enhanced, supplemented Learning Portfolio, with content as set by the module Professor submit an academic paper on a topic and length set by the module Professor, covering a major theme of the module. This will depend on the assessed learning needs of the student. The final mark will comprise 60% for the formal written paper and 40% for the Learning Portfolio.
Non-attending students will be expected to read the course material (course files and documents can be found on DIDA, and the set texts in the library). They will submit a Learning Portfolio, with content as set by the module Professor, along with an academic paper on a topic and length set by the module Professor, covering a major theme of the module, and then take a written or oral final exam.
