The University of Melbourne

The Graduate Certificate in Arts builds a solid foundation for further studies and research. The certificate helps you develop the analytical and critical capacities you need to understand the important issues and conceptual frameworks relating to your area of study and how to apply these skills to contemporary issues. You will use relevant technologies to understand the best way to handle research tasks.Gender Studies considers the significance of gender and sexuality across a broad range of cultural contexts, identities and histories. The program analyses how gender intersects with crucial issues such as ageing, class, disability, ethnicity and globalisation. Subjects consider ideas about femininity, masculinity and sexuality through close engagement with an extensive variety of theorists, case studies and media. Gender Studies is transdisciplinary and draws on the diverse interests of specialists located throughout the Faculty. This enables its students to develop a unique combination of research skills drawn from both the Arts and Social Sciences.
