The student who chooses the area of concentration in Archeology must take the following subjects as mandatory: Archaeological Theory I, Archaeological Theory II and Methodology in Archeology.

These subjects are 4 credits and will be offered by the Department.

The elective courses are those of the Research Lines, they are 4 credits, offered by the permanent professors and collaborators of the Department and the Special Seminars I, II and III, of 2 credits, are offered preferably by visiting professors.

The student must complete 12 credits of mandatory subjects, 12 credits between electives and seminars (at least one of the optional subjects must be taken in the Research Line of which the student is part), 4 credits from the Orientation Seminar and 2 credits from Dissertation Defense, totaling 30 credits in the Program.

As UFPel offers Master’s Degrees in the Humanities (Social Sciences, Social Memory and Cultural Heritage, Economics, Education, History, Languages, among others), it is possible for students to take other courses or seminars in these programs, expanding their elective credits.

DOCTORATE DEGREE

The curricular structure of the Doctorate Degree course in Anthropology at UFPel consists of mandatory and elective courses, in addition to the Orientation Seminar. Due to its two areas of concentration, the program foresees that the student who chooses to integrate the area of concentration in Social and Cultural Anthropology must take, as mandatory, the following subjects: Anthropological Theory I, Anthropological Theory II and Methodology in Anthropology . The student who chooses the area of concentration in Archeology must take the following subjects as mandatory: Archaeological Theory I, Archaeological Theory II and Methodology in Archeology. Due to the interdisciplinary proposal of the course, the disciplines of Anthropological Theory I and II and Archaeological Theory I and II may be taken as optional for students who do not have them as mandatory for their area of concentration. These subjects are 4 credits and will be offered by the Department.

Elective courses have 2 or 4 credits and are linked to one or more lines of research, usually offered by permanent professors and collaborators. The subjects of Special Seminars I, II, III and IV, all with 2 credits, are offered preferably by professors from other institutions or other UFPel graduate programs.

The student enrolled in the doctoral course must complete at least 12 credits from mandatory subjects, 24 credits from elective subjects, 8 credits from orientation seminar and 4 credits related to the Presentation of the Doctoral Thesis, totaling 48 credits. Of this total, at least 24 credits can be used for the master’s degree, if you have taken the course in the concentration area in which you are enrolled at PPGAnt.

As UFPel offers Graduate Courses in the Humanities (Social Sciences, Social Memory and Cultural Heritage, Education, History, Languages, among others), the PPGAnt encourages students to feel free to take subjects in other Departments, taking into account the interests of their research, thus expanding the credits in elective courses.

PPGAnt will continue with the adoption of affirmative actions for the doctoral course, as already occurs in the master’s degree. In this sense, in principle, up to 2 (two) places will be allocated to indigenous candidates, blacks and members of traditional communities (quilombolas, riverside communities, Pomeranians, etc.).
