Bachelor of Arts Gender and Diversity

Study gender dynamics and societal diversity at a university of applied sciences – this is possible in the BA Gender and Diversity programme at the HSRW. In our programme, diversity isn't just a concept – it's our academic culture. Immerse yourself in an environment where English is the language of instruction, fostering a truly global community of fellow students. Our interdisciplinary teaching combines sociology, cultural studies, political science and psychology with the fundamentals of economics. The diversity of society is discussed in a theoretical framework, examined using empirical research methods and skill sets are actively trained through workshops and exercises. Whether you aspire to pursue a career in academia or make tangible impacts in the real world, our comprehensive research training equips you for the path you choose. What you learn here enables you to examine ongoing transformative processes that result in more heterogeneous societies, in terms of both people and lifestyles. But social diversity is not merely an expression of lifestyle choices; it is also the ability to belong to different social groups defined, for example, by age, sex, nationality, ethnic background or religion, health (dis/ability) or sexuality and living. Within this framework, gender and gender relations can function as central mechanisms for establishing new social realities. Join our programme and explore these ongoing and future social developments.
