Why this course?
This programme will equip you with an interdisciplinary understanding of gender and its intersection with other forms of inequality, including race, sexuality, class, and disability. You will develop knowledge, understanding and practical skills that will prepare you for further research or a variety of career paths, including the charitable sector, government, education, the civil service or heritage. The programme will also suit people working in these and other sectors who wish to gain further knowledge and skills in Gender Studies.
There are two routes available for this programme.
The MSc Applied Gender Studies route will allow you to explore key topics in gender theory, queer theory and feminist histories, as well as giving you a strong grounding in feminist research methods. This route is suitable for students considering a range of careers or further research in the Humanities.
First-class or Second-class Honours degree, or international equivalent, in social science.
Applicants with relevant experience (paid or voluntary) in feminist, queer or equalities work will also be considered.
Supporting references: academic references where possible, but for students applying from a professional background, professional references are appropriate.

Graduates of the MSc Applied Gender Studies go on to work in a wide range of fields, including the feminist and voluntary sector, equality and diversity roles, policy and advocacy, education, media, and cultural organisations.
The programme is well suited to part-time study, and students already working in relevant areas may have opportunities to undertake research for their placement or dissertation within their workplace, allowing them to connect academic study with professional practice.
We also support students progressing to doctoral study. Graduates have gone on to PhD research across the Humanities and, via the Research Methods route, within the Social Sciences.
