Join the online UCL Global Humanitarian Studies BSc taster course and find out more about studying this degree at UCL and the careers it will prepare you for.

In this online event, we’ll give you an introduction to humanitarianism and explore some of the key issues in humanitarian studies, such as ethics, climate change, economics and international relations. You’ll work together in groups identifying risks, challenges and resolutions, as well as hearing about some of the positive impacts real organisations have on the ground.

There will be plenty of opportunity for you to meet our teaching staff and ask questions about the sector, the course and studying in the UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction (IRDR). You'll leave the session with a better understanding of humanitarianism and we'll provide you with our recommended resources to explore more after the event.

The IRDR is a multidisciplinary centre for research and teaching at UCL.
