Overview

The Gender, Development and Globalisation programme from London School of Economics and Political Science will give you a solid understanding of the economic and social processes that shape the contemporary global world and their gendered outcomes. It uses diverse analytical tools and theoretical approaches to analyse development and globalisation from a uniquely gendered perspective.

Throughout the MSc, you’ll analyse and theorise political, socioeconomic, institutional, and spatial aspects of change and inequality - particularly changes in labour, work and employment patterns, economic restructuring and critical policy issues. You’ll also engage with case studies, interdisciplinary academic readings and policy texts that address a range of global, regional and local contexts.

Studying Gender, Development and Globalisation will be of great intellectual value if you are seeking to understand gender issues in a global and transnational context, or if you plan on contributing to policy-making, or further research in the field. It provides the necessary analytical understanding to inform policy-making and independent research, and will prepare you for a career in policy-making institutions and NGOs, as well as in academia.

Careers

The interdisciplinary nature of gender studies means that graduates are equipped with a broad range of knowledge and skills that can be applied in a variety of areas. They're able to bring highly desirable gender analysis skills to a wide variety of settings, including government departments, international institutions (including the EU and World Bank), the media and publishing, charities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), private consultancy firms, education and research. Many of our graduates continue to study for PhDs and go on to work in academia.
