The film

Why Global Studies? What’s the difference between a tame problem and a wicked problem? How can we go about solving the problems facing the world today? What do we do when issues such as global warming, rising sea levels and mass migration become intertwined? Tackling global, complex, difficult questions are what a Global Studies degree at Essex is all about – are you ready for it?
