  • Discussions about gender inequalities in access to schooling, and in experiences and achievements within and through school and other forms and sites of education
  • Femininities, masculinities and gender relations within education
  • Links between gender, education and work
  • Ways in which the state and society (historical and contemporary) shape the politics of gender, education and development
  • Approaches to social justice, gender and education

You will need to undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme consists of two core modules (60 credits), two optional modules (60 credits) and a dissertation (60 credits). The programme can be taken on campus, online (distance), or a combination of both (mixed mode).  Please select your mode of study at point of application. Distance and mixed mode options are not available to students applying for a Tier 4 visa.
