Contemporary Migrations
After attending this UC, students must be able to:
OA1.To understand the importance of migration processes within the various social dimensions (family, economic, political, religious, symbolic, biological, cultural, relational and experiential);
OA2. to understand studies on migration in articulation with contemporary approaches to these complex processes that have abandoned economicist approaches
OA3. To be able to analyze migration processes within general Anthropological Theory.
This curricular unit aims at:
P1 - aproaching the debate on the main anthropological subjects: culture, ethnicity, identity, borders, belonging and difference, highlighting the cultural steryotypes underpinning host countries policies and interactions between social services and migrant users;
P2 - reflecting on the social, economical, and political conditions of
departure countries and on the mobility-generating factors based on given ethnographic examples;
P3 - analysing host contexts and integration processes of immigrants at the local and national levels, considering both institutional and non-governmental and informal actors.
P4 - promoting the study of migration as a result of social forces, family projects and individual motivations, analysing concrete trajectories from an interdisciplinary perspective.
As indicated in the Masters Regulation (Regulamento dos Mestrados), evaluation takes place in two periods: Normal (or 1st season) and Resource (or 2nd season).
Regular Season: continuous assessment minimum attendance of 80%; 30% participation in seminars; 70% final report (topic agreed with the teacher).
Students who obtain a final mark equal to or over 10 will approve the course UC.
2nd season exam: Students who were not approved in 1st season.

Objectives
As a general objective, the MSc in Anthropology aims to develop and deepen the skills required for research and projects of an applied nature in the areas of Social and Cultural Anthropology. To that end, it provides students with an up-to-date education in the theoretical and methodological tradition of Anthropology. The programme focuses furthermore on the contemporary expressions of social and cultural phenomena upon which the discipline has historically focused its critical analysis and intervention.
Students will acquire the skills to:
- Produce a work of empirical and/or theoretical investigation in the domain of Anthropology in the form of an academic dissertation.
- Produce projects that prepare students for doctoral research or prioritize practical and applied purposes, which may be developed in internships in organizations or institutions, including Research Centres, NGOs, Museums, Local Authorities, and others.
Thesis / Final work
The Master's requires the completion of an academic dissertation of 42 credits.
The preparation of this dissertation will be guided by a professor or specialist of recognized merit, and will be evaluated and discussed publically before a jury named for this purpose.
