Recommended schedule of studies for the MA Gender Studies

Below, you can find an overview of which compulsory modules and/or courses you should take in which semester to complete the MA programme within 4 semesters.

We recommend that you consider the recommended schedule of studies in planning your studies. We expect that starting in 2023, students who complete courses and/or modules in the order recommended here will be assigned to courses preferentially by the automated course registration system. However, you are not required to conduct your studies exactly according to this suggestion.

If you have questions about planning your studies, you can contact the StudiesServiceUnit Gender Studies as well as the students’ representatives.

Additionally, you can find further information on the content of the study modules as well as the course types on our website.
