BA/BS in Antropologia

The Anthropology programme at the Universidad de Concepción is offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences. Graduates are trained to study human beings in their biological, social and cultural diversity, applying the ethnographic method both as a concept and as a set of research techniques. Students gain a solid theoretical background in the main schools of anthropology, along with cultural and population variation, methodological analysis and scientific research. The programme places weight on cultural diversity, interculturality and the development needs of people. Professional practice is expected to follow the ethical standards of the discipline, with attention to gender equity, respect for sociocultural, ethnic and political diversity, and the rights of the people studied. Graduates are prepared to analyse local and global social transformations.
