Programme content
This programme expressly relates anthropology as a (social) science to modern-day societal challenges.
Year 1 starts with an introduction to core concepts of anthropology, followed by immediately putting academic theory, research skills and methods into practice.
Year 2 revolves around interdisciplinary teamwork: starting with a close study of societal problems, you will subsequently work together with students from various programmes on concrete solutions to these problems.
The third and final year focuses on the anthropology theme you are passionate about. The study programme concludes with writing a thesis based on your own ethnographic research
