You study the relationship between economic growth and gender equity, micro-credit interventions, climate-change politics and the social dynamics of issues like honour-based violence.

In the first year you study core modules on social and gender analysis, gender diversity and research approaches, then choose from a range of optional modules covering topics such as rural livelihoods, education, climate change, media and conflict.
