Courses


Choosing courses in advance


When applying to become an exchange student it is often required of you to make a study plan and choose the courses you would like to study, if you are admitted.

If you have to make your study plan before the courses for the next semester is published, you have to choose based on courses offered earlier years for the purpose of your application. Once you the new list of courses is advertised, you can adapt your choices to the available courses.

You can find a detailed description of all courses offered earlier and coming semesters at the Department of Anthropology here. The list of courses for the upcoming semester is available beginning of May for autumn semester and beginning of November for spring semester.


Choosing courses


Students who enter the Faculty of Social Sciences through an Erasmus or a Nordplus exchange agreement held by the Department of Anthropology must earn a total of 20 ECTS per semester at the Department. Likewise, incoming Erasmus and Nordplus students who study at more than one Department at the Faculty of Social Sciences must earn a total of 30 ECTS credits per semester at the Faculty. Any exemptions to above rules are at the sole discretion of the international coordinator at the Department of Anthropology (Quentin Gausset) that holds the exchange agreement through which the student enrolled at the Faculty.

As exchange student who enter the Department of Anthropology through other agreements are required to take at least one course at our department every semester.
