Overview

The Sex, Gender and Sexualities MSc programme from University of Surrey has been carefully designed to capitalise on the wealth of research and teaching occurring at the University of Surrey about these topics from across a wide range of disciplines in order to offer this exciting and innovative programme. The programme has three broad aims:

To provide an inclusive, welcoming and supportive learning environment in which to engage students in interdisciplinary studies of sex, gender and sexuality
To foster both a supportive cohort identity and group cohesion alongside flexibility, allowing students to make choices about their education

To produce graduates who have advanced critical, analytical, and professional skills with a high level of sophisticated knowledge about sex, gender and sexuality.

What you will study

Students begin the course in Semester 1 with three compulsory modules:

The year-long dissertation
