| Programme description |
The Master's programme is an international graduate programme in comparative indigenous studies. It is based upon the accumulated research and knowledge at the University of Tromsø regarding the Sami and other indigenous peoples within the social sciences, humanities and law.
During two years of studies, students will take courses totalling 120 study points (credits). Most courses are obligatory, with some additional courses that can be chosen on the basis of the interests of the individual student as a preparation for the Master´s thesis. Courses are designed to give a broad base from which the individual student may choose a relevant topic for the Master´s thesis. The thesis work is to be supervised by academic staff from the cooperating units at the University of Tromsø, and topics are chosen in cooperation with appointed advisors. The Master thesis gives 60 credits. One 10-credit course can be chosen among other courses given at the University. The chosen course has to be approved by the Programme Board.
