Women’s Studies is in many ways a unique subject which is ideally suited to the interests of mature students. It attempts to challenge traditional structures of knowledge about gender and also, the usual ways in which we learn. Women’s Studies draws on many disciplines, including sociology, literature, history, psychology and politics, and is accessible to students whose previous academic backgrounds are in any area. Students are encouraged to reflect on their own life experiences and combine this with theoretical insights that cross discipline boundaries.

About this course




Although many of our students enrol on the MA primarily for reasons of personal interest, it is also a valuable qualification for career development for many. Topics such as women’s experience in the workplace, equal opportunities, gender differences and enterprise are important and relevant issues for women in many walks of life. Students also develop valuable and up to date transferable skills in research, information gathering and writing. A large proportion of our students carry out dissertations in areas directly related to their field of work, and may be supported financially by their employers.

Anyone with an undergraduate degree or equivalent in any subject may apply. We also welcome applications from anyone over 25 who can demonstrate from life experiences their suitability for the programme and give some evidence of ability to study at this level.
