Graduates in social policy find employment in a wide range of occupations, including social services, public sector management, the legal profession and academic research. This family of joint degrees offers you the opportunity to study Women's Studies with one of a number of other subjects. Women's Studies examines the complex processes that shape women's lives and explores the diversity of women's experience in relation to class, age, ethnicity, sexuality and disability. The course illustrates how knowledge, the distribution of resources and everyday life are structured by the different experiences of women and men in Britain and across the world. An emphasis is also placed on the development of transferable skills and competence in conducting and evaluating research.
Assessment is through a combination of coursework, examinations, projects and presentations.
As a graduate of this course, you will be equipped for a wide range of careers, depending in part on the combination studies. They are especially relevant to a growing job market in gender-related issues, equal opportunities, government and business.
