Overview
The Gender and Sexuality Studies degree is offered by the Centre for Multidisciplinary from University College London (UCL), and involves staff from the faculties of Arts and Humanities, Social and Historical Sciences, Laws, and Built Environment, and the Institute of Education.
Research students can specialise in any aspect of gender or sexuality studies for which suitable supervision is available. Potential supervisors’ disciplinary perspectives are drawn from anthropology, architecture, development studies, education, geography, law, literary and film studies, queer studies, sociology and urban studies.
Careers
PhD students may go on to academic careers or careers in research. Gender is now an integral aspect of research and planning in a wide range of areas. The need to address different forms of discrimination has created a demand in both the public and the private sectors for highly qualified graduates with a broad theoretical background in gender studies, a familiarity with the issues facing women from different backgrounds, and a commitment to social change.
