Programme Structure

The MACA programme is a two year programme at Master’s level, and it is put together by seven courses (some of which are elective) and is concluded with a Master’s thesis. The programme involves co-operation with external partners and comprises internship in an organization outside university.

The MACA programme provides students with both practical and theoretical skills. On the one hand, field work methods such as qualitative interviews, participant observation and digital ethnography play a considerable role. On the other hand, students are trained in working with contemporary cultural theory and the complex influence of cultural phenomena on processes in organizations and society. As a result of that, students are required to independently conduct cultural analyses, including the selection of methodological approaches from their analytical abilities and the reflection on ethical implications of the application of these methods. Also, weight is put on the proficiency in the organization of projects and in the communication of results to other actors in society.

The programme is taught in English.
