  • Understand foundational concepts in gender theory and their application to human rights, international law and transitional justice
  • Gain knowledge and skills in carrying out research projects from design to write-up
  • Enhance skills in critically appraising published and commissioned research

Successful completion may also open up a range of further study and research options.
