Anthropology of Education and Globalisation
Education, learning and knowledge continue to grow in importance. They are widely considered to be prime drivers of global mobility and of the processes of equal opportunity, economic development and citizenship – in the North as well as the South. The new MA in Anthropology of Education and Globalisation aims to provide students with the competences necessary to work with the important topics of education, learning and knowledge in an increasingly globalised world.
Uniquely interdisciplinary
The programme is designed for students seeking an advanced training in anthropological approaches to educational practice and process in settings as varied as educational institutions, workplaces, and civil society. The teaching faculty – who are all active researchers – promote fruitful dialogue between the anthropological and educational traditions of enquiry, resulting in new arenas of study. Using ethnographic research methods and cross-cultural comparisons, the programme analyses specific (local) practices of education and knowledge in relation to broader (global) social and cultural contexts.
The programme provides a unique platform for exploring an array of traditional and less usual educational themes and sites across the globe: childhood socialisation and education; educational migration, multiculturalism and new forms of citizenship; global educational policy processes; the production and politics of knowledge; workplace learning, leadership and governance; welfare pedagogy; religion and education.

Education and life-long learning are of growing global importance. Educating students to embrace a global perspective and an in-depth understanding of how education, learning and knowledge are negotiated and managed in everyday life in differing settings across national and cultural borders, the programme is aimed at an internationally oriented labour market.
Possible job functions include educational and developmental management, research, and consultancy tasks; possible areas of work include children and youth, multiculturalism, management and organisational culture, globalisation, policy processes; and specific forms of organisation include public institutions, private firms, and not for-profit NGOs.
Students’ understanding of practice-related research methods and ethics will qualify them to participate in cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural research, and to work with various educational tasks both independently and in cooperation with others.
