Hear from our students
Our students are keen to share their experiences and help answer your questions about what it's like to study GSD at Warwick. In previous years, our student ambassadors have written a series of blog posts aiming to offer insight into our unique degrees and life at university. Read their blog posts here.
“To me, GSD means looking at a range of global issues and exploring them from a range of views and perspectives, particularly focusing on the three pillars of social, economic, and environmental. This doesn’t always mean that the solutions are there, but it offers an opportunity to critically analyse what exists and how we can build on that.” - Rebecca, Single Honours GSD Graduate 2026
“People on my degree are really passionate and they always remind me why I do my course and inspire me to do better. The Warwick campus offers so many opportunities: it’s very pretty and peaceful on campus and there are always events that I can attend and lots of support in place” - Ruyi, Psychology and GSD Graduate 2026
“You really should take advantage of the first week you are here. Welcome week is the week where everyone is searching for friends, so you are going to find a lot of people who are very eager to meet you in the lectures, societies, and all the events that are happening. My advice would be to really not be afraid of putting yourself out there! You’re going to have so much fun, because that is what Welcome Week is really all about, after all.” - Lara, Politics, International Studies and Global Sustainable Development Second Year Student
