Master's Thesis in Social Anthropology


During the course, the student carry out an independent scientific thesis of a social anthropological topic in the form of a written master's thesis of 20,000 - 25,000 words. The thesis is based on a two-month fieldwork that is carried out before the semester. Each student is assigned a supervisor and the thesis is written individually based on a theme of their choice that is chosen in consultation with the supervisor. The master's thesis covers a whole semester's work and requires independent work at an advanced level. The course concludes with a mandatory seminar where students defend their own work and oppose another student's thesis.
