ENG 513 M.A. Dissertation

the guidance of an advisor. It gives students who evidence initiative, originality, intellectual
maturity and a desire to commit themselves to genuine scholarship an opportunity to write a
graduate dissertation. Through this writing exercise, students are expected to synthesize
knowledge they have learned in their undergraduate study and that acquired in this Pro-
gramme in an interdisciplinary approach.

ENG 514 Special Topics in Interdisciplinary Studies: Gender Studies Theory
1 Term; 3 Credits
In the first part of this course, students will be introduced to theories of different feminist

this course is two-fold: on the one hand, it aims to give students a solid foundation in feminist
and gender studies theories; on the other hand, students will be encouraged to approach the
field in an interdisciplinary perspective.
