Many companies, NGOs and other institutions need critical thinkers that can set up and manage (research) projects, write well, know how to reach and communicate with different groups of people, are flexible, and who are able to build networks in unfamiliar settings. During your Master's in Anthropology you explore and develop these skills while working on your research project.
