MA Gender Studies

Academic title MA Gender Studies
Course description MA Gender Studies
Each of the Gender Studies taught postgraduate programmes is offered at both Masters and Postgraduate Diploma level. Masters students complete a 15-20,000-word dissertation. Diploma candidates do not write a dissertation.

A completed Masters degree involves taking modules to a total of 180 credits over the period of study, normally one year for full-time students and two years for part-time students, starting in September. Modules are of varying length, and credits per module range from 10 to 60. The number of modules that a student takes therefore depends on the combination of modules chosen, given the modules' credit values.

Each of the following course outlines relates to the typical pattern of full-time study. Different and more flexible patterns of study are, of course, available to part-time students.
