PhD Interdisciplinary Gender Studies

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies is a fulltime and part-time programme that can be completed in 5 or 7 years respectively. This programme is directed at students who are interested in a research-oriented degree, grounded in feminist theorising and activism. PhD Candidates should have the capacity to engage in independent work required for a research degree (evidenced by suitable referees in the field of research and a proposal detailing a selected field of study) and be capable of developing and completing a substantial and original research thesis. PhD Candidates have an option of developing a thesis by practice under the supervision and approval of their supervisor and IGDS graduate studies. While there are no required electives for this programme, additional courses or the reading course may be recommended by IGDS Academic Staff or Supervisor to assist with PhD Candidates’ research thesis.
