Postgraduate Study at the Centre for Women's Studies
Founded in 1984, the Centre for Women's Studies at York (CWS) is among the most well-established bases for feminist and gender-oriented teaching and research, both in the UK and internationally.
We adopt a women-centred and interdisciplinary approach to the changing nature of both women's experiences and gender relations. By drawing on a range of disciplines - cultural studies, history, literature, philosophy, politics, sociology, social policy - we explore the differing perspectives each has to offer, as well as the creative tensions between them.
Our taught Masters courses
- Women, Violence and Conflict (MA)
- Women's Studies (MA)
- Women's Studies (Humanities) (MA)

Why study Women's Studies at York
As a postgraduate student on an interdisciplinary programme, my work gives me the chance to build connections across different subjects. This is particularly useful in the world of work when issues are often not isolated in one academic field.
