Open to adults
The Advanced Master’s in Gender Studies is also open to people with work experience (admission based on academic record), subject to the conditions set out in article 119 of the Decree of 7 November 2013. These students will be able to explore gender issues in theory and practice in greater depth, allowing them to advance their professional career in this field or pursue a new career in this field. The theoretical aspects of the course perfectly complement the practical dimension (in particular through the internship), ensuring that students get the most out of their training.
