Master's Programme in Cultural Anthropology

Education facts

Code: HKA2M

The Master’s Programme in Cultural Anthropology offers you the chance to study cultural anthropology in an international learning environment with students from all over the world. This will provide you with a rich learning experience and a global network that will be very useful in your future work. The courses are based on ethnographic research and are inspired by your teachers' own research experiences and insights. In cultural anthropology, we try to gain a better understanding of people. Why are we who we are? Why do we do what we do? How do people organise socially and politically in relation to issues such as gender, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, etcetera? The programme provides you with professional and analytical skills that are invaluable in areas such as international development, migration, business development, civil service, museums and tourism. After graduation, you will enter a broad labour market both in Sweden and internationally. You will also be eligible to step into a research career. The language of instruction is English.
