Social & Cultural Anthropology, Master of Arts (M.A.)

The M.A. in Social and Cultural Anthropology is a research-focused master’s program which offers students an advanced orientation in socio-cultural anthropology and guides them through an ethnographic research project. Students engage with enduring and contemporary questions in the field of anthropology and learn to use ethnography as a reflexive lens onto a particular research problem. The program is informed by its emphasis on the multiplicity of human experience and on its global entanglements. Students benefit from a close working relationship with academic staff and may take advantage of the University of Bayreuth’s distinction as a center of African Studies.

Prof. Dr. Jia Hui Lee
Bayreuth’s anthropology programme is unique in that it brings together anthropological approaches to race, the environment, technology, the economy, and belonging. We support students in developing excellent and ground-breaking ethnographic research projects that intervene in issues of global importance, such as climate change, intercultural exchange, social (in)equalities, and knowledge production in the global South. Our students have gone on to win research awards and work in diverse fields.
