What is the cultural background for crucial issues such as climate change, financial crises, migration, activism, and sustainability? And how do they influence people's lives?
This Master’s programme offers a distinctive opportunity to study these and other social phenomena through ethnographic research. In one of Europe’s most respected Social Anthropology departments, we promote long ethnographic fieldwork in a familiar or unfamiliar setting, at home or abroad. The Master’s thesis based on your research will make you an expert not only in anthropological thinking but on a unique issue of your interest that will advance your skill sets both academically and professionally.
