Graduates of Master's Programme in International Gender Studies possess broad knowledge
in the fields of international organizations, human rights, minority policies, the
functioning of mass media and their impact on socio-political life. They command an
advanced and critical knowledge of contemporary gender theories, apply different
theoretical perspectives in the analysis of gender issues and critically scrutinize different
standpoints and feminist empirical evidence through reasoned and coherent argument,
demonstrating the awareness of themselves as situated experts. They are recognized as
specialists of equal opportunity policies, with particular regard to policies enforced by
the European Commission, but also, they are prepared to deploy them in the Polish context.
As a result, they are able to provide valuable assistance in the development of many
projects funded by the European Community. Since the teaching programme includes
also practical coaching in applying for work at the European Commission, they can apply
for positions at the EC. Moreover, being fluent in English (both spoken and written), and
having acquired the ability to combine knowledge from various areas, they may be
employed in the media as well as institutions dealing with socio-cultural issues.
The charge of 2000 PLN/year applies for Polish and the EU/EFTA citizens.
2500 EUR/year for students from outside the EU/EFTA, exclusive of an additional
200 EUR charge that covers registration fee (for students of Polish origin the tuition
is reduced by 30%).
