MSc Gender, Sexuality and Society

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

The course explores current debates and incorporates the cutting-edge research of world-leading academics at Birkbeck, who are working in feminism and gender studies, LGBTQ+ history and activism, queer theory, and histories of medicine, sexology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis. Our academics are passionate and engaged in the real world, working towards social justice with activists, policy-makers, academics, and charities and NGOs. You will find yourself in a classroom with a diverse range of people, from many different backgrounds and careers, which generates a lively, enthusiastic learning environment. You will consider competing for ideas and theories about gender and sexuality and explore the ways in which these intersect with concepts of race, ethnicity, age, and class. The course will develop your ability to critically discuss these theories and to consider how the social sciences can help us understand gender and sexuality. This firm grounding in theories of gender and sexuality, along with research skills preparation, will help you develop the confidence you need to undertake an independent research project in the area that most interests you. Graduates go into careers in community and voluntary sector organizations, the public sector, and research. Possible professions include social researchers, charity fundraisers, or social workers. This degree may also be useful in becoming a human resources officer or further education lecturer.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2 or above) in a social science subject and references.
