During your studies, you will examine culture, thought, prehistory and history, human interactions, and the social and natural forces that constantly transform our society.

It addresses gender and gender relations and practical tools for promoting equality.Gender studies courses lead to new knowledge and understanding and provide a critical edge for thinking about everyday situations (such as literature, advertisements and reality television), current events (such as political conflicts), and always changing social and political issues (such as the movement of people, products and money across borders). In addition to being a discipline in itself, gender studies is an important area of study in disciplines such as literary theory, drama studies, film studies, religious studies, performance theory, art history, anthropology, sociology and psychology.Length: Four years
