Anthropology and German University of Malta

Overview

Anthropology:

During your Anthropology and German course of studies at University of Malta, you will learn about the social, cultural, biological and linguistic aspects that comprise anthropology. Your knowledge on these areas may also culminate into a research-based dissertation that you will carry out in your final year of your programme of study. 

By studying about the origin and contemporary standing of anthropology, you will be provided with a wide spectrum of facets that will contribute to a more holistic understanding, ranging from evolution and society, to psychoanalysis, migration and post-colonialism, to name a few. They will also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as they believe that an international and multi-cultural experience will provide you with a more holistic learning outcome.

German:

Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.

The programme in German will give you an academic perspective at the Germanic language in terms of linguistics, literature and culture. During the course they will instil within you a deep appreciation for the language by helping you refine and hone your lexical, syntactic and grammatical abilities in all of the language's mediums. 

Your heightened insight in history and culture will prove invaluable in the work field, and you will gain a better understanding of how the contemporary state of the German language and Germany itself have been affected by key historical events. They also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as they believe a diversified and multicultural experience will give you a holistic academic journey.
