The taught M.Phil. in Gender and Women's Studies can be studied full-time over one year, or part-time over two years. The programme offers a historically and theoretically rich study of women, gender and sexuality in society. The course is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, drawing on the three disciplines in the School of Histories and Humanities: Classics, History, and History of Art and Architecture. Our students acquire a deep understanding of the historical and cultural contexts in which gender and sexuality are produced, performed and negotiated. The programme hones analytical, written and verbal communication skills, providing a solid foundation for a range of careers.
