Politics, Sexuality and Gender BA(Hons)

About

This cutting-edge degree places sexuality and gender at the heart of political study, taking an inclusive and intersectional approach.

You will dive into critical issues like reproductive politics, trans* rights, and the rise of ‘anti-gender’ movements, exploring them through feminist, queer and trans* theory.

Customise your studies with option modules that align with your passions, and gain hands-on experience through practice-based projects that tackle global challenges.

Placements with local feminist and LGBTQI+ groups provide real-world experience. You will graduate equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact in the field.

We offer two other politics undergraduate courses.

Study this Politics, Sexuality and Gender degree course at the University of Brighton to examine the contemporary political world.
