The master’s degree in Anthropology: Advanced Research and Social Intervention is an official University Master’s Degree that has the objective of providing the training needed to acquire the latest tools in research, qualitative methodologies applied to the social sciences, and transcultural comparisons, as well as training in social intervention within contexts of cultural diversity, the environment and health. Students can choose from two different specialisations: ethnographic and transcultural research (E1) and sociocultural and environmental intervention (E2).

The programme guarantees top-level training with renowned experts in the subjects offered, with years of academic and research experience. It is the only university master’s degree in Catalonia to offer an innovative vision of the discipline, and incorporates cutting-edge qualitative methodologies and techniques applied to social research. It pioneers the field by offering two different itineraries and the option of enrolling in external work placements to conduct social interventions in entities collaborating with the master’s degree. In addition, students are equipped with the skills needed to form part of interdisciplinary teams prepared to take on the complexity of the problems existing in today’s world.

Work placements

The specialisation E2, in Social, Cultural and Environmental Intervention has an external placement module (ME3.2) of 36 hours, equivalent to 6 credits. Students can undertake the placement in institutions involved in the areas covered in the master's specialisation in intervention (health, drugs, education, development and urban space), and with which placement agreements have been established. The placement gives students an opportunity to participate in specific social intervention projects and also to establish appropriate intercultural ties with the programme's recipients. The placements are aimed mainly at promoting participation in intervention projects, so as to identify any problems deriving from these, developing the skills of interacting, listening with empathy, inter-professional collaboration and critical thinking, and exposing students to the ethical dilemmas that are inherent to all interventions.
