The UCG offers courses in genderstudies and conducts research concerning gender issues in a social context. Every year UCG offers a General Education course on “male/female and diversity in Science and nature’. Also each year, the UCG publishes a study guide on Genderstudies with information on all the education on genderstudies given at the university, listed per faculty.

Lastly, UCG bears responsibility for the policy and organisation of the Centre for PhD students and Postdocs. (PPG).
