Course description

Preparation of a Cultural Anthropology MA thesis is a long term process, during which the individualized and personalized attention of the instructors paid to the students becomes discernible.  The student is free to choose the consultant out of the scope of instructors. Since the selection is the result of a longer – developed during the fieldwork – cooperation, consultants are usually chosen from the faculty instructors; however, lecturers with academic assessment can also be selected. The consultant helps to plan the fieldwork, to evaluate of the results, references academic literatures, also gives advice during the writing process. Framework of this is the Academic Thesis Seminar.
