Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives is a one-year course that prepares young people for positive engagement with a rapidly changing world. Through the study of global issues, learners will explore different and sometimes opposing perspectives and develop thinking and reasoning skills as well as research and communication skills.
These skills will enable learners to meet the demands of the twenty-first century and make a successful transition to study in higher education. The Global Perspectives Short Course comprises the first three components of Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research (GPR). It is aimed at learners who want to broaden their learning but who do not wish to take the subject through to Cambridge Pre-U GPR.
