UCL  Global  Citizenship  

  www.ucl.ac.uk/global-­‐citizenship    

UCL  is  a  world-­‐class,  research-­‐led,  multi-­‐faculty  university,  consciously  and  deliberately  global  and   wide-­‐ranging  in  its  reach  and  ambition.  We  strive  for  excellence  and  are  committed  to  making  a   difference  in  the  world;  our  aim  is  to  provide  an  educational  environment  that  reflects  these  values  

 

 

  and  supports  our  students  to  develop  in  the  round.  

The  philosophy  of  global  citizenship  within  the  curriculum  is  epitomised  in  the  UCL  Global  Citizenship  

Programme,  a  two-­‐week  programme  open  to  all  UCL  taught  students.  

 

Education  for  global  citizenship    

Citizenship  describes  our  responsibilities  towards  our  community  and  those  around  us;  global   citizenship  extends  that  responsibility  in  the  context  of  a  shrinking  and  ever  more  closely  connected  

  world.    

UCL  believes  the  education  we  provide  must  take  into  account  –  and  promote  –  the  increasing   importance  of  global  citizenship  and  educate  our  students  not  just  as  experts  in  their  disciplinary  

  fields,  but  students  who  are  global  citizens,  those  who:  

• look  beyond  their  individual  and  local  interests  and  see  the  complexity  of  an  interconnected   world  

• understand  the  nature  of  the  challenges  that  face  that  world  

• are  aware  of  their  social,  ethical  and  political  responsibilities  

• are  ready  to  display  leadership  and  work  together  to  change  the  world  for  the  better  

• are  able  to  solve  problems  through  innovation  and  entrepreneurship  

• prosper  in  a  global  jobs  market  that  values  the  skills  UCL  provides  

 

This  is  what  we  mean  by  education  for  global  citizenship:  studying  at  UCL  equips  our  graduates  to   face  the  complex  problems  of  the  modern  world.  These  are  the  principles  that  inform  all  that  we  do   at  UCL  –  from  our  commitment  to  student  volunteering,  the  way  we  conduct  ourselves  as  an   organisation  to  the  way  we  work  with  other  institutions.    

 

 

 

The  programme   http://www.ucl.ac.uk/global-­‐citizenship/programme    

A  two-­‐week  programme  for  UCL  undergraduates  and  taught  postgraduates  offering  the  chance  to   put  your  studies  in  a  global  context,  learn  new  skills  and  see  the  world  differently.  

 

The  UCL  Global  Citizenship  Programme  is  a  special  feature  of  the  UCL  year;  for  two  weeks  after   summer  exams  have  finished,  we  provide  a  range  of  opportunities  to  help  UCL  students  boost  their   studies,  enhance  their  future  and  make  an  impact  on  the  world.  

 

In  each  year  of  the  Programme,  students  will  follow  different  journeys  –  academic  courses  for  first   and  second  year  undergraduates,  and  practical,  real-­‐world  projects  for  second  and  final  year   undergraduates  and  PGT  students.  

 

Each  part  of  the  UCL  Global  Citizenship  Programme  complements  students’  formal  education,  and   helps  prepare  them  for  the  world  beyond  graduation.  

 

 

What's  involved?  

 

First  and  second  year  undergraduates  

There  are  six  options  focusing  on  the  UCL  Grand  Challenges  –  enabling  students  to  tackle  the   same  key  global  questions  as  UCL’s  world-­‐leading  researchers.  The  courses  are  specially   designed  to  be  multidisciplinary,  accessible  and  enjoyable.  

These  courses  are  challenging,  interactive  and  distinctive  –  and  deliberately  different  from   your  degree  programme.  For  instance,  you  may  be  studying  the  problems  water  creates  –  as   a  barrier  between  cultures,  as  a  carrier  for  deadly  diseases  –  and  coming  up  with  sustainable   solutions  as  part  of  multidisciplinary  project  teams,  or  looking  at  the  complex  relationship   between  different  groups  in  one  city  and  negotiating  a  response  between  them.  

 

Each  course  has  been  created  specifically  for  students  from  across  UCL.  There's  no  specialist   knowledge  required,  and  no  work  to  be  completed  beforehand,  leaving  you  free  to   concentrate  on  your  exams  before  the  courses  start.  

 

Second  and  final  year  undergraduates  

 

 

In  each  year  you  will  choose  one  of  four  'Pathways'  strands  –  Employability,  the  Voluntary  

Sector,  Enterprise  and  Active  Citizenship.    

These  options  are  more  practical  than  the  first  year  courses  -­‐  preparing  you  for  the  world  of   work,  whether  that's  in  the  voluntary  sector,  your  own  start-­‐up  social  enterprise  or  with  a   traditional  graduate  recruiter.  The  focus  is  still  on  working  in  small  groups  to  tackle  real-­‐ world  problems  as  global  citizens.  

 

 

Taught  postgraduate  students  

For  PGT  students  we  offer  the  opportunity  to  join  the  practical  and  vocational  courses  in  the  

Pathways  part  of  the  Programme  alongside  second  and  final  year  undergraduates.
