The future is changing. Are you ready?

Your university experience is about more than completing courses. It’s about understanding the world, your place in it and how you can contribute to something bigger.

A Global Citizen Scholar is a student who goes beyond disciplinary knowledge to think critically about the world, engage with complex local and global challenges, and contribute to positive change. Our Global Citizen Scholar Program helps you build the skills necessary, not just for your first job, but for whatever comes next.

What is the Global Citizen Scholar Program?

The Global Citizen Scholar Program is a free, flexible program you can take alongside your degree. It helps you develop real-world, cross-disciplinary skills that go beyond the classroom – skills you can actually use in your career and life.

Through the program, you’ll learn how to:

• Connect your academic learning to real-world contexts
• Think critically and solve complex problems
• Navigate change and uncertainty
• Use your knowledge to make a positive impact

Program Structure

Whether you complete one skill cluster or all four, the program provides a flexible pathway to develop global citizenship competencies, connect with others and apply your learning in meaningful ways.

Why It Matters

Today’s world is complex, interconnected and constantly changing. To navigate it, you need more than subject knowledge. You need to:

• Understand different perspectives
• Engage with complex social, environmental and global issues
• Reflect on your own role, values and impact
• Work with others to create positive change

The Global Citizen Scholar Program is for students like you who want to develop these skills so you can learn with purpose and contribute to the world around you.

What You’ll Learn

The Global Citizen Scholar Program focuses on four skill clusters because, together, they reflect the core capabilities you need to shape a rapidly changing world.

How It Works

Progression through each skill cluster follows a simple, practical process:

1. Build knowledge and understanding: Complete e-learning modules and then evaluate your learning with knowledge and understanding checks.
2. Make a plan for self-development: Build a learning and development plan based on a proficiency self-assessment that you complete.
3. Demonstrate competency: Provide real examples from your school, work or everyday experiences that demonstrate what you can do, then evaluate your levels of competency.

What You’ll Gain

By participating in the program, you will:

• Gain a deeper understanding of your learning, strengths and goals
• Earn certificates for each skill cluster you complete
• Obtain verified, in-demand skills employers and communities need
• Develop a collection of examples you can use in interviews and applications
• Learn a three-step process to understand how to grow and evidence your skills
