Cultural and Social Anthropology

The Master’s Degree in Cultural and Social Anthropology provides a fundamental training in social and cultural anthropology. Students learn to view/to approach human beings as parts of plural, diverse and rich cultures and societies.

Both theoretical and applied topics are at the core of the Master's course. The programme trains professionals to respond with responsibility and sensibility to the key challenges of contemporary societies, such as intercultural cohabitation, migrations and integration, citizenship and rights, cooperation and development, securitization and valorisation of heritage, securitization and management of resources and the environment, types of families and their transformation, interreligious dialogue and economic relationships with new markets.
Assets of the Master's programme include the quantity and the variety of specific anthropological courses; an interdisciplinary approach granted by courses in philosophy, educational sciences, geography and sociology; professors with an international profile; a heightened attention to area studies.

Students are encouraged to participate in international exchanges, to undertake training in organizations, associations or enterprises whose focus is coherent with the aims of the Master's programme, and to carry out ethnographic researches. Some courses may be taught in English. 

Upon successful completion of the programme students will obtain a Master’s Degree in Anthropology and Ethnology, which gives access to a Second Level Master Degrees and Doctoral programmes.
