What if understanding others is the key to changing the world? What if asking questions and observing people is your way of making impact? What if culture lived in algorithms too?
Combining hands-on research with academic training, this programme provides you insights and skills relating to cultural and social differences. You will study culture as the set of ideas, values and behaviour that people find important which makes the work of anthropologists indispensable for understanding today’s gender issues, social media use, social justice movements, religious expressions, etc. Alumni typically find jobs in areas of policy, communications, UX design, film making and research, for example as environmental consultant at a non-profit organisation, or diversity officer for a municipality.
