Combined Master's degree / No PhD programme Joint degree / double degree No programme Description/content Our Master's programme in Anthropology and Sociology brings together core elements from both disciplines in a research-oriented study programme that focuses on contemporary social issues and problems. This combination of disciplines is only available in Konstanz. The anthropological part of the programme focuses on non-Western cultures and societies, enabling us to critically reflect on our own society; the sociological part contributes important theoretical and methodological impulses. The combination of the two disciplines allows interrelating and assessing ongoing debates in both disciplines. It also opens up new perspectives so that you will be able to develop 2 innovative research questions and trajectories. Course Details Course organisation For detailed information regarding the study plan, see: https://www.soziologie.uni- konstanz.de/en/study/ma-anthropology-and-sociology/study-organisation/ and the module book: https://www.soziologie.uni- konstanz.de/uploads/tx_studiengang/modulebook_183_1482436331.pdf The Master's programme in Anthropology and Sociology consists of theoretical seminars of both disciplines, seminars on methods (ethnography, ethnomethodology, oral history, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, interview techniques, and others) as well as thematic seminars covering the various research interests of our staff (for example, Political and Legal Anthropology, the Anthropology of Religion, Cultural Sociology, and others). At the core of our programme are our project seminars in which students carry out their own research projects. A full-time lecturer has been employed who will help prepare the students' projects, support them during their fieldwork, and offer courses in analysing fieldwork data. During the jointly held lecture series as well as in the Master Forum, our students have the chance to interact with professors and students from the Master's programme in Sociology. This unique study programme profits from small courses, a close supervision, and the possibility to carry out one's own research in Germany, Europe, or abroad. International elements Other Description of other Since our programme focusses on student-led research projects, each student will have the international elements possibility to carry out research abroad.
