Enrolling in MA Gender Studies after teaching primary school for several years, I found it fulfilled all my expectations and more. The programme's integration of theoretical knowledge and practical application has been invaluable in my role as project manager.

The programme offered new perspectives and challenged my preconceptions. It’s dynamic, critical, practical, and often uncomfortable, providing tools to analyse gender and power structures, making it ideal for those passionate about justice and equality.

Growing up with a gender perspective, I pursued gender studies to deepen my understanding. The programme encourages critical thinking, and I’ve met inspiring peers and professors. It’s enriching, practical, and motivates societal change.

I chose gender studies to understand societal power dynamics and promote equality. The programme's diversity and relevance to all societal aspects fascinated me. It has provided invaluable knowledge and future opportunities.
