Objectives

As a general objective, the MSc in Anthropology aims to develop and deepen the skills required for research and projects of an applied nature in the areas of Social and Cultural Anthropology. To that end, it provides students with an up-to-date education in the theoretical and methodological tradition of Anthropology. The programme focuses furthermore on the contemporary expressions of social and cultural phenomena upon which the discipline has historically focused its critical analysis and intervention.

Students will acquire the skills to:

  • Produce a work of empirical and/or theoretical investigation in the domain of Anthropology in the form of an academic dissertation.
  • Produce projects that prepare students for doctoral research or prioritize practical and applied purposes, which may be developed in internships in organizations or institutions, including Research Centres, NGOs, Museums, Local Authorities, and others.

Thesis / Final work

The Master's requires the completion of an academic dissertation of 42 credits.

The preparation of this dissertation will be guided by a professor or specialist of recognized merit, and will be evaluated and discussed publically before a jury named for this purpose.
