Department of Anthropology Thesis Master’s Program in Anthropology The Master’s Program in Anthropology is based on the assumption that complex dynamics that have permeated the cultural systems of societies must be analyzed in order to understand today's societies. The aim of the program is to provide students with theoretical background and research skills necessary to study and understand contemporary social and cultural phenomena, topics and problems with an in-depth and cross-cultural comparative perspective. The program was set up to reflect the wide range of disciplines on which anthropology is based. Anthropology provides expertise for professional opportunities at universities, museums and research projects. Like all other social sciences, it also provides background knowledge enabling work in a variety of other sectors.
