Anthropology is the science that understands and explains society and culture. We do this not just from our own cultural perspectives, but through the eyes of others. The overarching goal of our science is to make the world a safe place for everyone. This is what makes Anthropology special.
At VU Anthropology our Staff produce internationally leading research and we are doing research all over the world, together with our local partners. We aim to answer the most urgent questions of today's world. We do so through our research programme Mobilities, Beliefs & Belonging (MOBB) and by ‘applying anthropology’ in practice.
At VU we offer two main degree programmes in English language: Bachelor's and Master's, as well as a Pre-master's programme. Our MSc has two branches the professional anthropology and the general social and cultural anthropology.
In 2024 National Student Survey (NSE) our Master was ranked top of the Netherlands, whilst all our programmes have been ranked as the best of the country repeatedly in NSE over the recent years. Our Bachelor is also available in Dutch.
