Course summary
Having recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, this is one of the longest running degrees on gender and development.
You will gain a solid understanding of debates in feminist thinking and link them to gendered policy and programming. You will develop in-depth knowledge for gendered analysis using an intersectional lens on issues such as:
- women’s economic and political empowerment
- political economy, environment, and feminist mobilisation for social justice
- sexuality, masculinity, and disability.
Our groundbreaking work challenges ideas about gender. We work with nuanced, fluid perspectives on gender and sex, and the ways they interact. You will gain the skills required to participate effectively in gender- and development-related research, policymaking, and programme implementation.
This degree is based at the Institute of Development Studies. You’ll benefit from our international research faculty’s expertise and our working relationships with partner organisations around the world. Your course teachers are all active in the field, working on high-level policy-oriented programming and cutting-edge academic research.
Careers
Our graduates become specialists and advisers in gender and human rights for governments and development organisations worldwide. This includes ministries of foreign affairs in countries such as Azerbaijan and Indonesia. Some of our graduates also go on to teach gender studies in universities around the world.

- the International Development Research Centre
- the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
