Program Description

The master in Anthropology of Childhood, Youth, Education (MSc) was the first degree of its kind to be established. It is still unique in its deep anthropological exploration of what it is to be a child or to be young.

As part of the master in Anthropology of Childhood, Youth, Education (MSc), you will look at historic perceptions of childhood in the West to the development of European rights of protection, compared to childhood experiences in other parts of the world, like the street children of Brazil.

In a module on learning and education, you will compare physical development stages, including how knowledge is acquired and universal patterns of play, to the range of ways children are prepared or educated to fit cultural expectations.
