MSc Programmes
We train MSc Gender students in how to treat gender as an object of study, as an analytic approach or perspective and as a way of thinking across disciplinary boundaries.
In many ways similar to MSc Gender, this degree programme further emphasises research design, epistemology, methodology and research methods, introducing students to the significance of gender in producing as well as consuming knowledge.
MSc Gender (Rights and Human Rights)
This research-led programme provides students with an in-depth knowledge of the epistemological, conceptual, and empirical contexts in which gender and human rights operate and circulate around the globe.
This interdisciplinary degree programme foregrounds the relevance of theory to transnational issues of sexual activism and legal frames.
MSc Gender, Development and Globalisation
This programme draws on a wide range of perspectives and considers diverse analytical tools for the analysis of development and globalisation from a uniquely gendered perspective.
In this programme, students are encouraged to interrogate a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to the gendered analysis of contemporary media and culture.
MSc Gender, Peace and Security
This unique, multi-disciplinary programme is concerned with the ways in which women and gender are understood in relation to, and affected by, regional, national and global peace and security processes in conflict and post-conflict settings.
MSc Gender, Policy and Inequalities
The MSc Gender, Policy and Inequalities provides advanced study in the application of gender theory to social policy, planning and practice with an interdisciplinary approach.
MSc Social Research Methods (Gender)
This programme stream is run by the Department of Methodology but is the entry point to our ESRC 1+3 programme - please see our PhD page for further information if you are interested in this route.
