Counselling Services for Starting your Studies

B.A. Cultural and Social Anthropology

Subject advisor Dr. Michaela Haug answers your questions concerning the B.A. program. In the 4th semester, we recommend that our bachelor's students agree on an appointment with the study advisory in order to clarify specific questions concerning the second half of the study program and the B.A. thesis.

M.A. Cultural and Social Anthropology

For questions about planning and organizing your studies (one and two-subject study programmes), Dr. Christoph Lange can help you.

Dr. Alexander van Wickeren can help you with questions concerning the one-subject M.A. Programme in combination with the a.r.t.e.s. Research Master Programme.

Professional Practice B.A. and M.A.

Under the B.A. program, acquiring profession-oriented work experience through internships is part of the elective modul on ethnological knowledge in research and professional practice ("Ergänzungsmodul – Ethnologisches Wissen in der Forschungs- und Berufspraxis"). If you are a master student of cultural and social anthropology, a professional internship is a voluntary, self-organized achievement. Katrin Sowa M.A. supervises the internships.

Study Abroad

The module 'Study Abroad' is part of the elective module 2 ("Ergänzungsmodul 2") under the B.A. and M.A. program. Questions concerning University partnerships, requirements, application process and funding opportunities answers Amtul Shaheen M.A.

KLIPS Support

With KLIPS 2.0, the campus management system of the University of Cologne, all students have to administer their study programmes on their own. You can fix most of the KLIPS-problems yourself by carefully reading the “Online-KLIPS-Support for Students”, first! In particular you should study the page “Transferring Credits”, where you can learn how to transfer “active participation credits” to different modules.

If there are still some problems left, you are welcome to contact m.boeck@uni-koeln.de during her consultation hours on Monday 12.oo-13.oo.

For recognition of external achievements please contact your subject advisor.

PhD in Cultural and Social Anthropology

With questions concering the organization of your PhD Karim Zafer M.A. is happy to help you.
