The department has no bachelor programme, but offers courses which may constitute a part of a bachelor’s degree in the Humanities or social sciences. The department does, however, offer a Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary studies of Culture. The main emphasis of the master programme is cultural changes as a starting point for asking new questions about gender, technology and knowledge. The programme takes two years and leads to an MA in Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture.

Applicants are not required to have any specific bachelor’s degree; hence the student population contributes to the interdisciplinary profile of the department. Master students are given the opportunity to participate in the work of the research groups, and write their master’s thesis on the projects of our researchers.

Our lecturers and researchers have academic back-grounds from sociology, political science, social anthropology and history. Though the department recruits students from other areas as well, the majority of the student population on our master’s degree has courses and bachelor’s degrees from these areas. Both employees and students thereby study technology and science, and gender by employing interdisciplinary methods and theories, and as well as their top competence.
