Master's Programme CREOLE: Cultural Differences and Transnational Processes, 120 ECTS

CREOLE is a specialized master’s programme in social anthropology that provides a comprehensive education in social anthropology. It addresses three main areas; transnational processes, cultural differences and new forms of identity. These are treated within three main fields: new identities, material culture and consumption, and visual culture and popular culture.

The CREOLE programme includes an exchange component in which students will spend two terms abroad at one, or two, of the partner universities: Universität Wien (Austria), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain), Univerza v Ljubljani (Slovenia), Université Lumière Lyon 2 (France), National University of Ireland-Maynooth (Republic of Ireland). Studies are flexible and allow for the creation of individual programs tailored to each student’s interests.

Obligatory courses are Philosophy of Science for Anthropologists, The History of Anthropological Theory, and Anthropological Methods. Elective courses vary from semester to semester. The master’s thesis comprises one semester (30 credits) and is preceded by a period of fieldwork. The subject of the thesis is freely chosen within the overarching theme of the programme, and is decided upon in consultation with the thesis advisor.

Admission is limited to six students per academic year. The selection is based on the quality, quantity and relevance of your previous studies. Deadline for application is April 15.
