The MA CREOLE is funded under the EU SOCRATES Programme, in which students are required to spend two of the four semesters at Maynooth University and at European partner institutions: Universitt Wien (Austria), Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (Spain), Universit Lumire Lyon (France), Univerza v Ljubljani (Slovenia) and Stockholms Universitet (Sweden).
This course is designed for students who have a curiosity about the wider world and how humans diversely experience living and being in that world.
The four year programme of study includes, in the first and possibly subsequent years, reading courses, taught courses, generalist and specialist skills seminars; while the second, third and the fourth years of the programme are dedicated primarily to research skills development and independent research.
The course is designed for development and humanitarian aid professionals (and those who envisage such a career) who would like to add an anthropological perspective to their development expertise.
