This degree could help you to make a real difference as it has been developed for innovators – those who are passionate about introducing change for good. On the Global Innovations pathway, you’ll acquire knowledge about the causes and effects of real-world problems and will learn key skills to develop innovative and sustainable products and solutions that could change lives. Within the core spine of your Global Challenges degree, you will take an in-depth look at issues such as climate change, migration, terrorism, aging populations and poverty and how they affect the world we live in, which will be backed up by the focus on building solutions from your Global Innovation pathway. Global innovations are needed to improve the world we live in, but real-world issues cannot be solved by technology alone. Your degree will cover a combination of sciences, social sciences and the arts as different disciplines are woven together to give you a comprehensive understanding of how to make change happen. Hands-on learning is a strong focus of this degree, allowing you to develop skills which you can take to your future career. A large part of the course will be learning how to put your ideas through a process of investigations to test their viability in relation to the challenge you want to solve. You will also look at the concepts, theories and history behind innovation. This course is to develop your knowledge and understanding of the natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, technology, philosophy and ethics and how they can contribute to identifying, understanding and responding to global issues and concerns. This is the first course of its kind to offer students opportunities to switch disciplines in a global context between science and non-science disciplines. You will be taught by staff who are actively engaged in research or relevant professional practice, making your learning up-to-date with current findings in real-world experiences which will feed into teaching. You will learn in a variety of ways including lectures, tutorials, workshops and seminars, as well as one-to-one supervision in your final year project.

About

Brunel University London, founded in 1966, is an internationally-recognised university located in Uxbridge, London. Named in honour of the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Brunel is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary.
The university is organised into three colleges – Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences; Business, Arts and Social Sciences; and Health and Life Sciences – as well as three major research institutes – Energy Futures and Environment; Health and Societies; and Materials and Manufacturing.
Due to its campus-based nature, students of Brunel are never more than a ten-minute walk away from facilities such as halls of residence, social and sports facilities, lecture theatres, or the library. In addition, its close proximity to London makes it an ideal place for students who wish to experience the capital's many social and cultural attractions.
Furthermore, Brunel is a proud member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association, and Universities UK. In addition, the university offers access to specialist laboratories such as those for electronic imaging, bioprocessing and experimental techniques, flight, driving and train simulators, and a 3D body scanner.
Many undergraduate students also have the option to take a practical placement or project as part of their courses in the form of a sandwich year. On top of that, Brunel's Department of Design hold an annual design exhibition known as 'Made In Brunel', which is designed to showcase the work of final year students to the wider design industry.
