The admission profile is the knowledge, skills and abilities of the students who access the degree.
Admission to MUEGYPI is open to students with a previous qualification in the following subjects: Bachelor's or Graduate 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.
The Master's degree will also allow access to graduates who meet the requirements of Article 16 of RD 1393/2007 and who also have the required B1 level of English.
The graduate profile is the skills, knowledge and abilities that the student must have acquired upon completion of the degree. This information is included in the section on competencies/learning outcomes defined for the title.
The graduate of this master's degree will therefore be a graduate with specialized and advanced training with professional capacity and qualification.
We aim to offer a theoretical framework for studying basic concepts such as gender differences, power relations and cultural discourses that still maintain a status quo of inequality and discrimination.
In this sense, the Master's has a double vocation: 1. On the one hand, to delve into the historical and ideological study of the reasons that have led to an unequal society like ours (social, cultural, economic circumstances, etc.); 2. On the other hand, to provide keys and guidelines for intervention in society that alleviate this situation. In other words, our Master's is designed both to philosophically understand the concept of gender and its relationship with inequality (in its many variants), and to propose solutions at the level of public policies.
The new guidelines aimed at developing projects and actions in favour of Equal Opportunities in all its spheres, coming from directives at both European and state level, as well as at regional and local level, require that technical staff working in this area, either individually or in a generalist way, have a series of common and specific knowledge, tools and skills to work with this group. In another sense, we would like to highlight the importance of training experts in these disciplines, as reflected in the most recent state and community regulations on the subject. Compliance with current legislation on equality, as well as the application of equal opportunity plans and the Comprehensive Law against gender violence, have made clear the urgency of training qualified professionals in specific aspects that facilitate the effective application of the implemented measures, while carrying out a type of transversal intervention in public institutions and the private sector that eradicates discrimination against women. Society, therefore, demands more than ever professional profiles around gender and equality. More specifically, we are referring to two professional figures of Equality specialists, included in the Spanish National Classification of Occupations (CNO): Equal Opportunities Agent (in general) (with occupation code 29390018) and Equal Opportunities Promoter (in general) (with occupation code 35390015). In turn, these professional figures are subdivided into Equal Opportunities Agent/Women (with occupation code 29390027) and Equal Opportunities Promoter for Women (with occupation code 35390024).
The AIO (Equal Opportunities Agent) is basically responsible for the functions associated with professionals with university training (analysis, design, evaluation, etc.), while the PIO (Equal Opportunities Promoter) (professionals with non-university training) focus their functions on the areas of animation, awareness-raising and development of activities of direct attention to users. Likewise, there are other professional categories that directly require the training we offer in our master's degree: IO Technicians (Equal Opportunities), IO Managers and IO Experts. The variety of topics and areas in which the intervention of these professionals is necessary amply justifies the need for theoretical and practical training such as that offered by the MUEGYPI. The following are the functions to be developed by all these professionals:
Detection of needs in terms of equal opportunities between women and men Programming, planning and implementation of projects related to equal opportunities between women and men. Monitoring and evaluation of the different interventions. Information, guidance and advice on equal opportunities between men and women Technical assistance in the application of the gender perspective in a transversal manner. Preparation and issuance of gender impact reports. Coordination of professionals from different areas and departments related to equal opportunities. Proposal, design and preparation of studies in relation to equal opportunities. Planning actions that promote the participation of women in all areas of society. Creation of protocols and methods of action, in response to the use of sexist language, in all manifestations of the different entities.
