MSc Gender (Research)

London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London

The MSc in Gender (Research) combines a thorough grounding in contemporary theories of gender with advanced training in quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. Based in the Department of Gender Studies, you’ll also take courses in the Department of Methodology, which is a base for cross-disciplinary research and teaching in social science. This programme is the research stream of the mainstream MSc Gender, and is also eligible for ESRC funding as the "1" (first year) of the "1+3" MPhil/PhD Gender. If you wish to apply for the ESRC funding, you need to submit a dual application for the MSc and corresponding MPhil/PhD. This degree is particularly well-suited to students who are considering further study and careers in research. Graduates from the programme have also gone on to pursue careers in the government, public sector and policy sector.
