Overview
The concept of “learning through research” forms the basis of the Social and Cultural Anthropology MA programme from University of Hamburg and ties together the development of theoretical issues, individual research design, the acquisition and application of advanced ethnographic methods, and comparative analysis of existing sources. The Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology maintains an extensive network of international partners in both teaching and research. The focus on project work in particular enables students to prepare for a career in a whole range of exciting fields. The program is one of the largest master’s degree programs in social and cultural anthropology on offer in Germany. Students benefit from very good supervision and a broad range of course options.
Students engage in contemporary issues such as migration, urban and rural transformation, consumption, governance, family transformation, natural resource management, and climate change and investigate these issues in a variety of regional contexts across the world.
Career Opportunities
The program's focus on expertise in research methods and socially relevant topics prepares students for careers in a variety of areas such as research, teaching, development cooperation, roles in international organizations, museum and cultural management, media, and tourism.
