Course Overview

Our gender and sexuality studies course is built around the interdisciplinary study of gender and sexuality, an exciting and growing area of study. It is ideal if you are interested in how gender and sexuality are constructed, understood, and represented in different historical, cultural, geographic, and social contexts. We bridge the divide between the social sciences and the arts and humanities by offering an MA and MSc so you can tailor the course to your interests.

  • The MA allows you to explore aspects of gender and sexuality in literature, history, media and film, visual art, philosophy, and cultural theory.

  • The MSc allows you to explore the diverse and changing nature of personal relationships, economics, the workforce, and development and legal studies.

You will examine current debates which incorporate the cutting-edge research of world-leading academics at Birkbeck, who are passionate and engaged in the real world, working towards social justice with activists, policy-makers, academics, and charities and NGOs. You will also find yourself in seminars with a diverse range of people, from many different backgrounds and careers, generating a lively, engaged, and enthusiastic learning environment.

Our graduates have also successfully found work across a wider range of other professions and disciplines, from education to business to the arts. Those interested in the further study have gone on to complete research degree (MPhil/Ph.D.) programs.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond. At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
