Current deadlines and information for STS students
The old study regulations apply to students who enrolled between 2017/18 and 2024/25, while the new study regulations apply to students who begin their studies in 2025/26.
Any member of the teaching staff involved in the STS MA program who
has at least a master's degree can act as supervisor of your MA thesis
("Erstgutachter"). Make sure at least one of your two examiners is a full professor of the Faculty of Linguistics, Cultures, and Arts (FB 09). Practically speaking a professor of our institute must be either "Erstgutachter" or second examiner, "Zweitgutachter".
Please search actively early on for a potential supervisor of your
thesis to make sure that your project is accepted ‐ we recommend to
approach potential supervisors latest at the beginning of your third
semester. Note that not every member of the teaching staff is an expert for your subject.
For information on particular research interests and expertise of the teaching staff please consult the LASST Website (Lab for Studies in Science and Technology).
At the beginning of each winter semester, the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology (KAEE) offers multiple welcome and information events for first-semester students of the Science and Technology (STS) program.
Please find the presentation for the most recent MA welcome and information event as well as the booklet for first year MA students on the page Downloads and Links.
In addition, we warmly invite you to join our mailing list, the main channel for news and information from IfKAEE, Through it, we share information about events, activities, and collaborations—both from our institute and from other institutes of cultural anthropology across Germany. You can also connect with us on social media via Instagram, Bluesky, and Mastodon!
