PostgraduateCourse summary
The MA Gender Studies offers the opportunity to explore ideas of gender and gain knowledge of contemporary issues on gender in a global context, at an advanced level. This Master’s degree is inspired by a curiosity about gender, how gender operates, what difference gender makes and how gender might be imagined in ways that could facilitate resistance and change. Students will be encouraged to critically examine their own assumptions, and, most importantly, to question popular and common sense notions of gender.

Assessment method
The programme is designed to expose students to a range of different forms of assessment and to develop a range of academic, professional and work-relevant skills such as public speaking. Students will have the chance to develop written communication skills through essays, report writing and the Independent Study all of which are designed to expand students skills in professional and academic writing. Oral communication skills are also assessed, for example, through a video podcast on one of the core modules, providing students with the opportunity to enhance their public presentation and public speaking abilities. Students will be expected to develop their research skills, which will be assessed through core research methods modules and on the Independent Study. Further research skills are also embedded in assessments throughout other core and option modules. Critical, analytical and reflexive thinking are central to all assessments. IT skills are embedded in many modules and include word processing, digital data management and presentation, statistical data handling, the use of electronic search engines and other resources.
