  • AIMS

    The « Sciences de l'Homme, anthropologie, ethnologie » bachelor's degree offers progressive training in à social and cultural anthropology. Since the aim of social and cultural anthropology is to study the diversity of cultures and social organisations, the approach is necessarily comparative, whatever the personal project and the thematic specialisation envisaged.

    From the first year onwards, the SHAE degree offers high-level courses - designed with research training in mind - run by specialists, all of whom are research professors;cialists, all of whom are teacher-researchers (section 20 of the CNU) or CNRS researchers, professionals, doctoral students, ATERs and members of AMU laboratories and institutes (IDEMEC, CREDO, IrASIA, IMAF, CNE) attached to section 38 of the CNRS. The degree offers a broad spectrum of specialisation in terms of cultural areas that has no equivalent in any other French university: Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Near East and the Maghreb, Asia, the Americas, Oceania.

    The hourly volume of the degree is 1500 hours, i.e. a maximum of 500 hours per year. Modern language courses for non-language specialists (LANSAD) represent 18 ECTS over the 3 years, i.e. 180 hours. Each student's progress in a modern language is prepared within the framework of a partnership between the degree and the LANSAD offer (LANSgue pour Spécialiste d'Autre Discipline) of the modern language departments of the UFR ALLSH.

    The SHAE degree takes in an average of 225 students, including 100 in the first year, based on average enrolments over the last three years. The degree is offered in both initial and continuing education.

    Continuing education trainees benefit from specific cross-disciplinary modules offered by the component, which focus in particular on links with the socio-economic world, professionalisation, documentary research, use of the resources available at the university, development of knowledge and skills, and project development.

    For both initial and continuing education, teaching is delivered face-to-face and enriched by the use of ICT via AMU's digital platform AMETICE: forums, provision of resources etc.

  • SEEKED CAREERS

  • SEEKED CAREERS

    - Research and Teaching in Anthropology : Underpinning the pursuit of Master's and then PhD studies

    - The valorisation of cultural heritage : Many jobs are linked to the inventory, conservation and enhancement of immaterial cultural heritage (museum curators, curators in charge of the inventory of French heritage, scientific advisors of regional or national parks, ethnology advisors of DRACs, conservation officers, etc.).). Various competitive examinations are organised by the CNFPT (national centre for territorial civil service) and by the INP. The degree in anthropology, complemented by a specific training, gives a sufficiently solid general culture to prepare for these competitions and the preparatory classes.

    The degree in Anthropology is also a prerequisite for a career in the public sector.

    - Journalism majors (written or audiovisual) : Students who have graduated from a journalism school or wish to become one will find additional training (in particular a specialisation in a given cultural area or particular social problems) within the anthropology degree.

    - International cooperation and humanitarian action: Anthropology enables the identification of the conditions for sustainable appropriation of development programmes by local populations. The degree prepares for 'professional master' type training.

    The degree is also intended to be used in the development of new technologies.

    - Health and social action: Anthropologists are involved in the determination of public health policies and prevention campaigns. They work on cultural relations and disease.

    - Proximity workers (education, social work, police) : Intercultural relations are at the heart of the daily practices of social workers, teachers and health personnel. After completing a degree in anthropology, students will be better prepared to understand cultural change. Many of these students go on to take the competitive examinations to become a teacher in the schools or in the national and local civil service.

    This is the first time that a student has taken this course.

    - Cultural mediation: Many students go on to work in cultural mediation, particularly in the programming of intercultural shows. Some of them also envisage careers in tourism.

    Some of the students have been trained in the cultural sector.

    - Crafts and industry : The degree in anthropology also enables students to acquire skills in traditional know-how and ordinary aesthetics. It thus opens up the craft and industry sectors linked to the development of local resources and know-how.

    The project will be carried out in the framework of the European Commission's European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.

    - Environment: Many students also wish to acquire the degree of Human Sciences, Anthropology, Ethnology, in order to then focus on environmental issues (regional and national parks, ecology, climate change, etc.).).

    The multi-disciplinary nature of Licence 1 and the options available in Licence 2 encourage progressive orientation (conservation of credits and most grades).

  • SUPPORT FOR YOUR LABOR MARKET INTEGRATION

    Professionally directed work

    Methodological information-seeking content to enable students to enrich their career prospects

  • SUPPORT FOR YOUR STUDIES ABROAD
