The purpose of the academic masters program in ethnology and anthropology is to produce ethnologists-anthropologists capable of scientific research and research application in society, as well as to efficiently incorporate students from other undergraduate backroungds into the program and provide them with the opportunity to change disciplines. The Master in ethnology-anthropology is designed through courses, a research component and a written final work(thesis). In that sense, a graduate candidate in a masters of ethnology and anthropology is expected to be able to contribute to the scientific community and public upon graduatingthrough writing a relevant study on social phenomena or processes from a broad spectrum of issues such as urban and gender studies, contemporary and popular culture, science and politics, globalization and multiculturalism, alternative religious phenomena, urban and traditional folklore. The program is comprised of methodological, theoretical, professional, scientific and practical training for applied work, with a particular focus on producing candidates that are able to write scientific studies. Masters in ethnology and anthropology students are expected to be adequately prepared for continued doctoral studies in the field of social-humanistic sciences.

Through combining sub-disciplines, such as urban and gender studies, political science and globalization with multicultural politics, the program aims to overcome arbitrary boundaries of suggested sub-disciplinary based study style of the twentieth century and move towards an interdisciplinary and project oriented approach on each research topic without committing common mistakes or romanticizing history, identity, tradition and similar. The masters program attempts to thoroughly follow issues related to the process of serbian international integration and cultural change.
