The goals of the PhD programme are

  • to teach students the latest theories and methods of anthropology, covering the full range of areas addressed by social and cultural anthropology in the past and at present; and
  • to provide students with the anthropological training and guidance to carry out their own extended ethnographic research projects from start (proposal), to fieldwork and write-up, to finish (publication); and
  • to train students in producing a publishable book that demonstrates their ability in meeting international professional standards of research and analysis.
