General Anthropology – (M.Sc.)

Equipped for globalisation

In the Master’s degree programme in Anthropology at the University of Aarhus, you work with cultures and societies around the world.

You work with a comparative perspective and, through the study of social and cultural conditions, you seek to acquire an understanding of basic human conditions and the way they change. Anthropology deals with human beings as social and cultural beings and with the way we interact with each other and society. These are important skills in an increasingly globalised world, and with a Master’s degree in Anthropology, you are thus well equipped for the international job market.

Theory and practice

In the Master’s degree programme in Anthropology, you can gain considerable practical experience. Anthropological fieldwork or a period of practical training (internship) in a Danish or foreign company or organisation provide you with an opportunity to try out anthropological methodology and theories in practice. You also strengthen your individual competence profile and specialise in specific topics through your choice of elective subjects and your thesis, for which many students often draw on material and data from their fieldwork or practical training.
