BS Gender Studies

BS Gender Studies is a four-year interdisciplinary undergraduate degree examining gender as a structuring feature of social, economic and political life, combining theory with social research methods.

What You’ll Study

Coursework covers gender theory, gender and development, women’s labour and economic participation, gender-based violence, gender and law, gender in education and health, research methods, and representation and media.

Career Scope in Pakistan

The development sector is the primary employer, and the demand is structural rather than incidental: gender is a mainstreamed requirement across donor-funded programming, meaning gender analysis, gender-responsive programme design and gender-disaggregated monitoring and evaluation are contractual expectations.

Graduates work in development organisations and donor agencies, policy research and advocacy, government departments and commissions on the status of women, legal reform and human rights organisations, international organisations, journalism, and academia. Research and monitoring and evaluation capability is what distinguishes candidates for analytical roles.
