Women’s Studies graduates enter a variety of work environments
and find different ways to apply their knowledge. In some cases
their work is a direct extension of their formal study. In other
cases their work role is not so obviously connected with Women’s
Studies, but their knowledge underpins all they do and adds extra
skills and understanding. You can contribute to any area of work
where graduates are employed, with an enhanced knowledge of the
significance of gender issues, and the capacity to analyse and explain
areas of disadvantage for women and other groups in society..
