Profile
Social Anthropology is the science of cultural identities and differences. It aims to observe, analyse and interpret domains of social action, reflecting such cultural characteristics, in a theoretically grounded and methodically consistent manner. The comparison of societies therefore provides the basic theoretical perspective and informs the analytical and methodological approaches. Social anthropological knowledge and competence enable one to interact in these domains of action in a scientifically valid, socially relevant and ethically responsible manner.
This Master Programme transfers knowledge of the theories and current research issues of Social Anthropology, to be applied and further developed in the course of an empirical research project.
Acquired Competence
- intercultural communicative competence based on a perceptive awareness of cultural identities and differences;
- methodological skills in designing and implementing empirical research projects;
- ability to contribute to innovative developments in social anthropological theory and knowledge;

- skills in orientation, decision-making and informed action in culturally unfamiliar social situations.
