Master of Science in Mathematics with Study Abroad

at University of Bristol - Clifton Campus United Kingdom

This joint honours degree combines a full course in music with the study of Portuguese language, literature and culture, providing you with a valuable skill set that is ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace.

Music offers a broad range of units in musicology, composition and performance, across diverse styles and genres. These are complemented by weekly concerts, regular masterclasses and performances in the department and opportunities to get involved in the dynamic music scene in Bristol.

Portuguese is the seventh most widely spoken language in the world and is an official language of nine countries across four continents. The political importance of countries like Brazil and Angola means Portuguese speakers are increasingly in demand.

You will spend your third year abroad in a Portuguese-speaking environment, which will enable you to refine your language skills and cultural knowledge.

What do you think are the most important social and global issues? Where do you see injustice or inequality? What can our leaders do about them? What can you do about these issues?

The dynamics of social and public policies are highly complex and often have unforeseen consequences. This course gives you the tools to explore, analyse and critically evaluate policy issues in and across societies in a range of geographical and cultural contexts. International Social and Public Policy draws on several disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, behavioural science and philosophy, asking you to compare key ideas and theoretical frameworks.

This multidisciplinary, international degree integrates the analysis of government policy with the understanding of broader global political, economic and social change. At its core, the BSc International Social and Public Policy seeks to explore, analyse and critically assess contemporary social and public policy issues in and across societies.

Migration needs new thinking. The MSc in Migration and Mobility Studies offers a rigorous and exciting approach to the study of migration and its connections to other types of human movement. You will learn about migrant workers and global firms, migratory soundscapes and the relation between migration and racialisation.

Through its innovative combination of arts, social sciences, law and humanities, the MSc will enable you to understand and engage with some of the most pressing political and policy issues of our time.

The program will:

• Enable you to think critically about migration and migration policies: explore how to think about and work on human movement without turning migration into a problem;
• Learn new methodologies: broaden your research skills, break down disciplinary boundaries, think theoretically, and know why this matters;
• Be taught by leading researchers conducting groundbreaking work on themes such as human movement and freedom, mobility and justice, and histories of citizenship globally;
• Develop career opportunities: transferable skills and knowledge that will be useful in a wide variety of careers from international NGOs, local government and community organising.

BA International Business Management and German will help you develop the intellectual, analytical, critical and employability skills you will need to succeed as a manager or leader in many careers across different sectors.
