Program Overview

If you wish to pursue a career in the charitable, education, government or civil service or the heritage sectors then this course is ideally suited to you. It will also appeal to those who may already be working within an organisation with a strong interest in gender in society.

For those who are interested in pursuing a more research-focused option the MSc Applied Gender Studies can also be taken as a Research Methods route. This allows graduates to meet the criteria for ESRC funding, an important factor if you plan to go on to PhD study in the Social Sciences.

By completing this course you will develop the analytical and practical skills necessary to engage critically with contemporary gender issues including:

  • Gender theory 
  • Gender equality
  • Feminist theory
  • Queer theory
  • LGBT studies
  • Gender & society

A key focus of this course is how these concepts can be applied within real-world contexts. You will have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience working on a research project with an external organisation from the feminist third sector and organisations committed to gender equality in arts, culture and sport.

Study with us

  • Develop analytical and practical skills to engage critically with contemporary gender issues
  • Undertake research placements with organisations from the feminist third sector and organisations committed to gender equality in education, arts, culture and spor
  • Study how gender ‘works’ in relation to other structural inequalities such as race, sexuality, class and disability within society
