Faculty of Humanities, Charles University
Master in Gender Studies
- Prague, Czech Republic
MA
Full time
2 years
On-Campus
English
The Master's program in Gender Studies at the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University in Prague (FHS UK) offers the opportunity for a systematic and interdisciplinary academic study of theoretical and methodological tools for researching and exploring gender issues from a historical perspective, with a consideration of cultural and ethnic aspects of any given topic. Gender studies apply intersectional and interdisciplinary perspectives on gender as one of the basic principles organizing human society and culture. Gender studies focus on the analysis of historical as well as contemporary manifestations of the gender order, the influence of feminist and queer theories and methods in science and research, and other aspects of gender order; they also probe the relationship between gender and other categories of social differentiation and stratification such as race/ethnicity, social status, age, sexuality, and/or disability. One of the specific strengths and an internationally recognized expertise of the gender studies program at the School of Humanities is the emphasis put on analysis and reflection of post-socialist experiences and reflections of gender structuring of the late-socialist Czechoslovak society, and “East European” societies in general. The study program is realized without specialization.

MA Programs in Social Sciences Gender Studies
Masters of Arts degrees are advanced degrees in the humanities, liberal arts, and social sciences that take one to two years to complete. Students holding a BA may choose to further their education by working toward an MA, which can be a terminating degree or a stepping-stone on the path to a doctorate.
What is an MA in Gender Studies? An MA in Gender Studies focuses on the theories and practices of gender equality in a variety of situations. Students can choose to specialize in gender and work, gender and politics, or gender and literature. Typical courses include the theory and practice of feminism, social change, feminist genealogies, public policy, and women writers. Some programs also explore these issues in a transnational and multicultural context. Associated areas of study included in many programs are sexuality and race.
A graduate degree in gender studies imparts many essential skills beyond just recognizing the social injustices nationally and internationally based on gender inequality. Students also learn important critical thinking, research and communication skills that can be applied to many different careers in a variety of industries.
The cost of an advanced degree differs based upon the institution, geographical location, and many other factors. Therefore, you need to directly contact the school or schools to which you plan to apply to find out their tuition fees in order to budget for your studies.
Many graduates with an MA in Gender Studies continue their postgraduate work to obtain careers within academia. Other graduates utilize their education in gender inequality to work in government or nonprofit organizations to facilitate policy changes or to work as an advocate for women, such as for victims of domestic violence or rape.
There are several universities around the world that offer advanced programs in gender studies. Each one will have a unique area of interest, and interested students should choose schools that match their concentration and career goals.
