GEMMA Programme Description & Structure

GEMMA Erasmus Mundus Master’s Degree in Women's and Gender Studies is a joint European multidisciplinary programme which provides high quality academic education and professional competencies for students wanting to conduct further research or intending to work in the areas of women's studies, gender studies and equal opportunities.

This European Master is unique in the way it brings together approaches to feminism from different European perspectives. Created as a result of concerted efforts on the part of several universities working together within the Socrates Thematic Network ATHENA, it brings together the expertise on postgraduate studies of all the institutions involved. In its composition the GEMMA consortium represents the harmonisation of eight different institutions from seven different European countries: University of Granada (co-ordinator), University of Bolonia, Central European University of Budapest, University of Hull, Institutum Studiorum Humanitatis, Ljubjiana (ISH), University of Lodz, University of Oviedo and University of Utrecht. GEMMA is thus the fine tuning of North European, South European and Central European higher education institutions where Women’s and Gender studies is one of the main elements in their postgraduate offer. The languages of instruction used by the consortium universities are English, Italian and Spanish.

The programme is divided into four semesters as follows:

  1. 1st semester. (30 ECTS). Core modules, taken at home university and organised around the same three courses at all consortium universities (Feminist History; Feminist Theory; Feminist Methodology).
  2. 2nd semester. (30 ECTS). Elective courses taken at home university.
  3. 3rd Semester. (30 ECTS) Elective courses taken at mobility university (mandatory mobility period).
  4. 4th semester. (30 ECTS). Master’s thesis preparation at either home or mobility university.

The master's program may be subject to slight changes in their subjects annually.
