Having always been interested in gender equality and women¡¯s rights, Caroline decided to embark on the MSc/MLitt in Gender Studies at °®Âþµº.
¡°I believe that the quest for equality continues to pervade every aspect of our daily lives, from economics, politics and education, to education, sport, the arts and the media. Therefore, when I saw the breadth and diversity of subjects offered by the Masters at °®Âþµº, I knew that this was the course for me. ¡°
Caroline¡¯s course also offered the option to undertake a research placement with an external organisation. She added: ¡°It provides an excellent opportunity to apply this learning in real and practical ways, ensuring that your research can have a direct impact on the lives of women and girls across the UK, and beyond.¡±
As a mature student, who worked through the entire duration of the course, finding the balance between work, study and personal life was, at times, challenging, but she explained: ¡°The Faculty staff were really supportive and understanding throughout, providing advice and practical solutions as to how best manage the workload.¡±
Caroline added: ¡°Having now found a niche subject through my dissertation, which I am interested to pursue further, I am hoping to continue my studies by undertaking a PhD.¡±
