Our MA programme in Cultural Anthropology offers students a twofold opportunity. They can both explore historically and socially variable cultural phenomena across different regions including Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and South America with a special emphasis on Central Europe and deepen their understanding of local contexts and sociocultural processes in a globalized world. We welcome students from all over the world who are interested in cultural diversity, human nature, the application of social scientific knowledge and the special sociocultural contexts of Central Europe.
