This degree offers a thorough academic analysis of one of the most pressing issues in the international development agendas in the contemporary world: the place of gender analysis in rights and development policies. The degree is highly interdisciplinary in nature and draws on the internationally recognised distinction of Glasgow's International Centre for Gender & Women's Studies, the Centre for Development Studies and the Department of Politics.
