In its interdisciplinary teaching programme, the Institute offers undergraduate courses through various departments and faculties on the St. Augustine Campus. It offers a Minor in Gender Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and Education and a Minor in Gender and Development in the Faculty of Social Sciences. Each of these programmes is available to students of the relevant faculties and in most instances, to students of other faculties or departments as well. Students are encouraged to take the courses offered as electives. IGDS offers undergraduate and graduate summer courses. Not all undergraduate courses are offered each year. Look out for advertising on the UWI online portals or contact us for information. Graduate summer courses are offered every other year.
