Program Overview

Màster en Antropologia i Etnografia

The Master's in Anthropology and Ethnography is designed to provide a thorough understanding of professional competence in Social Anthropology and the acquisition of systematic knowledge of the topics covered in the modules taught. These modules correspond to the study of the causes and contexts of various social and cultural phenomena that help us understand our contemporary world in all its complexity and significant details. Therefore, ethnography is continuously integrated into the methodology and anthropological theory.

The program aims to offer direct contact with the sources of anthropological reflection and a progressive learning of the discipline, sensitive to the assimilation of concepts, research methods, and theoretical forms of thought in Anthropology. It has opted for a specialized program in research training that provides the necessary theoretical and methodological elements for the study of the complexity of social relations, actors, and mediations that take place at a local level but must be inserted into the global context to find their full meaning. Similarly, one of the central priorities of the program continues to be the integration of teaching and research carried out by the department's research groups, either in their own projects or in collaboration with other European universities and research centers. In this sense, in addition to the department's own faculty, each course includes professors invited from other universities.
