Master's Degree in Women's and Gender Studies
GEMMA is the first Erasmus +: Erasmus Mundus Master´s Degree in Women's and Gender Studies in Europe. It is a programme of excellence supported by the European Commission, which has selected it as an Erasmus Mundus Master Course four consecutive times (in 2006, 2011, 2017 and 2018) and distinguished from an average of 150 project proposals submitted annually as “a (...) project and model in the field of Women´s Studies and Gender Studies in a European and global perspective”.
GEMMA is unique in the way it brings together approaches to feminism from all cardinal points in Europe. Created as a result of the concerted efforts of several universities working together within the ATHENA network, the GEMMA Consortium represents the harmonization of eight different institutions from six European countries: University of Granada (coordinator), University of Bologna, Central European University (Budapest), University of Hull, University of York, University of Lódź, University of Oviedo and University of Utrecht. GEMMA is thus the fine tuning of North European, South European and Central European higher education institutions where Women’s and Gender studies is one of the main elements of their postgraduate offer.
