Ideas about gender and sexuality are central to contemporary debates in the news, politics and society. Gender and sexuality studies has expanded rapidly in recent decades, emerging as a dynamic interdisciplinary field of study.
On the course, you take compulsory modules that provide you with the advanced skills, methods and concepts required for the study of gender and sexuality at graduate level. You are introduced to gender, queer theory and feminist politics from a range of perspectives, then choose optional modules to develop your own specialist interests. Optional modules are available across many different disciplines and departments such as politics, development studies, history of art, education, literary and film studies, queer studies and sociology. Further details on relevant gender and sexuality-related modules in other UCL departments are on our Postgraduate Modules page.
You then undertake an extended dissertation with support from an expert academic supervisor, providing you with the opportunity to undertake independent research in an area of your own interest. As a multi-faculty institution located in the heart of cosmopolitan London and covering an exceptionally wide range of disciplines, UCL offers an ideal environment for gender and sexuality studies, enabling students to tailor their degree according to their specific interests, providing a wealth of opportunities for interdisciplinary work.
The Gender, Society and Representation MA is part of a vibrant community of scholars and students working on questions of gender and sexuality at UCL. You will have the chance to meet doctoral researchers on the Gender and Sexuality Studies PhD course, as well as attending other events with staff conducting cutting-edge research in the field. Several social and research networks bring together staff and students from across the University, including UCL’s platform for research on gender and sexual diversity, qUCL.
