The 12-course-unit microprogram in African Studies proposes to increase your knowledge on the main societal, cultural and demographic issues at stake on the African continent (Maghreb and sub-Saharan). The microprogram is structured around 3 compulsory courses in African studies, sociology and anthropology and 1 optional course taken within a choice of courses in other social sciences disciplines. In particular, you will gain skills to critically address the stereotypical depictions of Africa to better capture its diversity, richness and huge socio-cultural, economic and political role it is already playing in the contemporary globalized world and will continue to play in the next decades.
