Introduction to global gender studies
7.5 ECTS creditsAre you passionate about making a difference in the world? The bachelor’s programme Global Perspectives on Gender, Human Rights and Social Justice offers you a unique opportunity to study some of the most pressing issues of our time – from gender equality and human rights to sustainable development and social justice – all within a truly global context.
Through an interdisciplinary lens—combining gender studies, global studies, and human rights—you will gain both the theoretical insights and practical skills needed to understand and address today’s complex societal challenges.
The programme examines how issues such as gender, health, identity, work, violence, and sustainability are shaped across different countries and influenced by international bodies such as the UN and EU through policy and law. By actively engaging with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the programme deepens your understanding of gender equality, equity, and social justice.
With a solid grounding in critical thinking and a global outlook, you’ll be ready to pursue a career in international organisations, public administration, education, journalism, and more. Join us in Sweden and become part of a new generation of changemakers striving for a more equitable and sustainable world.
