The master's degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology: Cultural Differences and Transnational Processes (CREOLE) is the first official international joint master's degree in Spain offering both solid training in modern social and cultural anthropology and a unique interuniversity mobility experience. The purpose of this two-year master's programme is to train researchers specialising in the study of cultural differences, transnational processes and new forms of identity, while at the same time providing solid and competitive training in three main areas of specialisation: New Identities, Material Culture and Consumption, and Visual Culture and Popular Culture. The master's degree is the result of the collaboration of the anthropology departments of six European universities: Universität Wien, Austria; Universität Bern, Switzerland; Maynooth University, Ireland; Université Lumière Lyon 2, France; Univerza v Ljubljani, Slovenia; Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, Poland; and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain.

Admission Requirements

Students should preferably have previous studies in the area of anthropology but this Master’s degree is also open to applicants from the humanities and the social sciences. In cases where admitted students do not have sufficient previous studies in anthropology bridging courses will be offered over two weeks (40 classroom hours, 6 ECTS credits) in intensive session prepared especially for that purpose and taught by teaching staff from the master’s degree. These session will be programmed for the start of the course before the first semester classes begin (mid- to late September).
Accredited knowledge of English is required (level B2). Given that this course is also taught in Spanish and that English (the ‘lingua franca’ of the programme) knowledge of both languages will be considered as one of the selection criteria.
