Masters Programs in Women's Studies in Europe 2022

Graduates of the Erasmus Mundus Master in Women's and Gender Studies (GEMMA) will have acquired complex gender competencies (critical knowledge of fundamental theories and methodologies, as well as good practices and applications in different academic fields and social and in their own field of specialization), and will have a direct and practical knowledge of two institutions and European contexts in which the studies are imparted. Depending on the mobility itinerary and options chosen, they will have been able to specialize in a specific disciplinary or subject area, and will have completed a research or professional master's thesis, co-directed between the two chosen universities, which will involve high-level training. This training will enable them for informed and critical intervention in gender matters in professional settings, as well as to continue their studies at the doctoral level. -

The MA Transnational Queer Feminist Politics with special reference to the Middle East at SOAS is a unique programme, its principal aim being to re-focus issues prioritised in western Gender Studies and the study of sexuality on the complex specificities of Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East. The programme offers the specialised study of gender and sexuality in relation to the cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, together with rigorous training in, and questioning of, contemporary gender theory. In terms of gender theory, it offers a solid foundation with sufficient breadth and depth to facilitate a range of specialist pathways. In terms of specialisation, it draws on the expertise of internationally recognised scholars of Asian, African and Middle Eastern Studies at SOAS. -
