Studying Africa at the University of Basel
There are numerous possibilities of focussing on Africa during your studies at the University of Basel.
The Department of Social Anthropology for instance has a strong regional focus on Africa and many courses relate to the the continent. Or, students in History can specialise in African History.
The most prominent programme is the MA study course in African Studies. The study course integrates the specific competencies into an interdisciplinary training combining Natural Sciences and Humanities.
PhD studies on Africa are conducted in various disciplines and there is a lively community of PhD students. For a list of disciplines offering PhD programmes at the University of Basel refer to the respective website.
Currently, the Centre for African Studies Basel is developing an MAS programme (Master of Advanced Studies) in African Studies. It aims at professionals dealing with Africa and will combine academic and practical knowledge on Africa. We expect to kick off this new study course in 2010. We will be glad to add your name to our list of prospective students and to provide you with further information.
