GEMMA
Master's Degree in Women's and Gender Studies
Duration: 2 years

Course description:
Master in Women's and Gender Studies is a joint European multidisciplinary programme which
provides high quality academic education and professional competencies for students wanting to
conduct further research or intending to work in the areas of women's studies, gender studies and
equal opportunities.
This European Master is unique in the way it brings together approaches to feminism from all cardinal
points in Europe. Created as a result of concerted efforts on the part of several universities working
together within the Socrates Thematic Network ATHENA, it brings together the expertise on
postgraduate studies of all the institutions involved. In its composition the GEMMA consortium
represents the harmonisation of eight different institutions from seven different European countries:
University of Granada (coordinator), University of Bologna, Central European University of Budapest,
University of Hull, Institutum Studiorum Humanitatis, Ljubljana (ISH), University of Lodz, University of
Oviedo and University of Utrecht. GEMMA is thus the fine tuning of North European, South European
and Central European higher education institutions where Women’s and Gender studies is one of the
main elements in their postgraduate offer. The languages used by the consortium universities will be
English, Italian and Spanish.

The programme is structured as follows:


1. Core Component: 1st semester. (30 ECTS).
Taken at the host university and organised around the same three courses at all consortium
universities: (Feminist History; Feminist Theory; Feminist Methodology)
2. Electives/practice/specialisation: 2nd and 3rd semesters (60 ECTS). Divided into:
- Electives cluster A: 2nd Semester. 30 ECTS (at the host university)
- Electives cluster B (mobility): 3rd Semester. 30 ECTS (at the partner university)
3. Master’s thesis: 4th semester (30 ECTS credits)
