Profile
This M.A. course enables students to choose from a number of thematic and regional subject emphases. It is notable for the way it combines basic research of a theoretical and thematic nature with more practically oriented approaches. The subject matter is the investigation of cultural difference at both local and global levels. The aim of this key discipline is to compare, describe and understand commonalities and differences in human living and thinking. In addition, in-depth concern with theories and methodologies provides students with crucial qualifications enabling them to reflect on and analyse human practice in a global context. A key ability here is critical inquiry into the apparently universal nature of thought models, values and practices with a view to identifying the culture-specific origins they often spring from. Accordingly, the empirical methods involved in fieldwork and an engagement with the concept of culture are just as essential as familiarity with approaches of an anthropological/ethnological, societal or epistemological nature. The M.A. course thus sets out to enhance students’ regional, theoretical and methodological knowledge as an indispensable basis enabling them to engage in independent academic work and devise problem-solving strategies of their own. The language of instruction is mostly German but many seminars are also run in English to take account of the increasingly international complexion of the University.
