Anthropology Tallinn University

Overview

Social Anthropology is a discipline that studies the human experience by directly observing and participating in people’s daily lives. In our two-year Master’s programme, you will learn how anthropologists have developed theoretical and methodological tools for conducting such studies. 

The Anthropology programme at Tallinn University provides a stimulating research environment where you can develop your own research project through a range of fieldwork-based practices.
