The Masters (MLitt) in Women, Culture and Society is an interdisciplinary postgraduate women's studies course.

Aims of the Programme:

- To establish an understanding of how female and gender identities were constructed in historical, social and cultural contexts.

- To provide an integrated introduction to comparative and interdisciplinary studies.

- To enable students to acquire a range of interdisciplinary intellectual and thinking skills.

- To introduce students to a range of research skills and methodologies at postgraduate level.

- To facilitate the development of interdisciplinary learning and transferable skills for further research and/or for employment as well as life long learning.

The Women, Culture and Society teaching team includes members from different subjects and Schools across the university, representing the interdisciplinary nature of the programme. Every member of the team is committed to teaching gender studies and researching in that field. In addition to the core teaching team we occasionally draw upon staff from other subject areas should teaching and dissertation supervision require this.
