Study Details: 12 months full-time; 24 months part-time
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:
First (1st) class or upper second (2.1) Honours degree in a relevant discipline, usually in the Humanities and Social Sciences OR Relevant experience (paid or voluntary) in feminist, queer, or equalities work.

The MSc Applied Gender Studies is a great route into working in the feminist third sector, or into equality and diversity work across a range of contexts.
We positively encourage part-time study and where students are already working in these areas there may be possibilities to conduct research for their placement and/or dissertation within their workplace.
We’re also well-placed to support students going on to PhD study across Humanities and through the Research Methods route – Social Sciences.
