This programme consists of compulsory courses, electives in a specialised pathway, a Thesis Seminar and Job Market Orientation course, and an MA thesis based on your own original research. There is also the possibility of taking an internship or conducting fieldwork in place of one of the elective courses.

Fieldwork and Internships

In place of one pathway elective, students can also choose to receive credit for a fieldwork project or take an internship. In additional to the standard internships offered by the Faculty of Humanities, the programme is also in the process of developing tailor-made internships with some museums, international organisations, national political and educational organisations, NGO’s, and research institutions.

Latest research

Content is regularly updated to reflect contemporary academic debates and the very latest insights – many from the research conducted by lecturers on the programme. The academically-rigorous design of the programme aims to develop in you essential skills in reasoning and critical thinking, as well as advanced abilities in independently conducting high-quality scientific research and developing this data into an academic dissertation.
