At Goethe University Frankfurt, students who have completed a B.A. minor program have the option to pursue an advanced certificate program in Gender Studies at the master’s level. Various master's programs include a focus on Gender Studies. For example, the master's program in sociology offers a module titled "Gender, Migration, and Diversity." In the master's program in educational sciences, students can select the thematic focus "Engaging with Difference." The development of an interdisciplinary master's program building on the B.A. minor program is currently in planning.
