Three different MA pathways are available, including the MA Gender and Sexuality, and the MA programmes are designed primarily for those wishing to under study of gender at a post-graduate level regardless of the focus of their undergraduate degree.

University of Sussex

An MA in Gender Studies at the University of Sussex will provide students with advanced grounding in feminist theory and methodology. The course will look at the contribution of feminist theory to a range of academic disciplines, identity and the social construct of gender and the political aspects of gender and feminist research. Undergraduate students can take gender modules through the options, electives and pathway systems.
