Purpose of the Master's Degree

  • The MUEGYPI's main objective is to train professionals who, from different areas of knowledge in Humanities, Social Sciences and Health Sciences, can detect inequalities between women and men in social, economic and political life. We also aim to offer practical tools to intervene in the achievement of a more egalitarian society, combining a theoretical and practical nature as corresponds to the tradition of gender studies and its scope of social application in Equality Policies. We list them below:
  • Learn to design applied projects in the different areas of intervention that are studied
  • Provide keys, instruments and concepts that allow the implementation of measures and projects that make it possible to analyze and eradicate gender violence. Special mention should be made of the design of preventive policies in the educational field.
  • Provide analysis tools that allow an applied dimension of gender analysis for social intervention
  • To train in the design, application and evaluation of public and private equality policies
  • To train to recognize and incorporate the contributions of women to society and culture, as well as to historically analyze the construction of knowledge, in order to detect its androcentric bias, and correct it in the sense of inclusiveness and visibility of women.
  • Provide theoretical and practical knowledge that facilitates the application of gender mainstreaming in institutions and that serves to implement the principle of equal opportunities in public policies at different levels (international, state, autonomous communities, municipalities) in relation to employment, education, work, social services, sexuality, health, cooperation and citizen participation.
  • To train in the detection and analysis of the different ways in which social gender inequalities occur, and to provide an information and evaluation system conducive to diagnosing inequalities, as well as proposing political interventions that lead to the achievement of real and effective equality.

Who is it for?

  • Admission to the MUEGYPI will be permitted to students who have a previous qualification in the following subjects: Bachelor's or Degree in Psychology, Pedagogy, Geography, Psychopedagogy, History, History of Art, Sociology, Philology, Law, Economics, Philosophy, Social Work, Journalism, Primary Education Teacher, Early Childhood Education Teacher, Fine Arts, Nursing and Medicine. The fundamental contribution of these studies is the intensification of the application of the gender perspective in a specialized way in the various studies that allow access to master's studies, as well as the transversality and multidisciplinarity that characterize the trajectory of gender studies.
