What will you learn?
Social anthropology study program considers the changes of cultural and social processes, which human cultures use and live to make daily life meaningful. It draws students attention to most important theoretical and methodological concepts of this discipline. Prior to signing up for the program, most students have not met anthropology. Due to this fact the bachelor degree is designed as an overview of this discipline. All current fields of anthropological interest are covered by the program, including up-to-date literature, which pushes the discipline and its thinking forward. Compulsory subjects stand for critical reflection of all key areas of human life – such as kinship relations, religion, economics and politics. Theories and Methods of research anchor the study program in European anthropological tradition and current trends of social sciences. The students are future experts in qualitative analysis of cultural and social systems, such as local variations of adaptation onto wider society and culture. At this level of study, it is possible (with the approval of the teacher) to carry out ones own longitudinal anthropological fieldwork, which forms the basis for Bc. thesis or Master study proposal, be it at this university or elsewhere. We believe the critical analysis of current social events to be the key ability of our graduates, who are likewise able to draft and condust a field research in praxis.
The purpose of anthropology is to make the world safe for human differences.
