Course summary
The MSc in Gender, Policy and Inequalities applies gender theory to social policy, analysis and practice through an interdisciplinary and transnational approach.
You’ll gain a grounded understanding of the concepts and theories relevant to a gender analysis of social policy in a global and comparative context. The programme has a particular focus on the issues facing Europe, where mainstream and critical welfare state literature has a long traditional, as well as topics relevant to other more andless economically developed countries .
Throughout the programme, you’ll be encouraged by faculty to develop critical and independent thought on gender and gender inequalities, while taking compulsory courses in gender, policy, and inequalities. You’ll also be able to choose from a range of optional courses across the Department and the School.
The interdisciplinary nature of gender studies means that you’ll be equipped with a broad range of knowledge and skills that can be applied in a variety of professional and academic settings. Previous graduates have gone on to work in national and local government departments, international institutions (including the EU, the UN and World Bank), the media and publishing, charities, and non-governmental organisations.
