Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology

Pre-master

This is the overview of all the courses offered within the pre-master programme in Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (CA-DS). Since each pre-master packeage is individualley composed, the pre-master students follow different courses. The size of different pre-master programmes can vary from 10-60 ECTS.

It is only possible to enroll for the pre-master CA-DS in Leiden after being conditionally admitted to the MSc programme in CA-DS. After one applies for the MSc programme, the Admission Committee will decide whether the deficiencies can be eliminated by following a pre-master programme. Based on the prior education of the candidate the Admission Committee will decide what the content of the pre-master should be. If a candidate has been conditionally admitted to the master’s programme, his/her Admission Statement will contain an overview of courses that the student is required to take as a part of the pre-master.

Please note that most courses that are part of the pre-master are taught in Dutch only, because they are all a part of the BSc programme in Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology.

Application for the master CA-DS, including the specializations, can be done through the website www.mastersinleiden.nl.
