The Master of Arts in Gender Studies at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) is a 2-year, on-campus graduate program offered by the Faculty of Business & Economics. This thesis-based program provides an interdisciplinary exploration of gender as a social, cultural, and economic construct. Students critically examine gender relations, inequalities, and policies within the broader context of social sciences. The program is designed for those seeking advanced knowledge in gender studies and its applications in research, advocacy, and policy-making.

  • Gender-based violence and human rights
  • Qualitative and quantitative research methods in gender studies
  • Policy analysis and advocacy strategies

Students complete a master's thesis under faculty supervision, demonstrating original research on a gender-related topic. The thesis component allows for in-depth investigation of issues such as gender equality in the workplace, representation in media, or gender dimensions of migration.
