Develop your knowledge of the intersection between gender and politics. You’ll explore the challenges of gender and identity representation across the globe.
Gender and identity continue to grow in importance as political issues. Understanding how this has come to be, and how politics addresses gendered issues, is vital.
Throughout this course, which is one of only a few in the UK that focuses on a combination of gender and politics, you’ll critically analyse gender as a political topic.
By exploring identity in the context of national and international politics, you’ll put yourself in a strong position for a policymaking career.
Through examining how gender and identity intersect with politics, policymaking, international relations and political theory, you’ll enhance your understanding of some of the most pressing challenges faced in society across the globe.
Other topics you’ll cover include:
You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:1 or above.

We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
