MA in Folklore and Culture Studies (MAFCS)

Folklore is one of the new fields of study and teaching. The modular MAFCS Programme aims to create a group of specialised folklorists who can find a place for themselves in fields like teaching and research departments in colleges and universities, libraries, museums, archives, historical associations, culture councils, national centres of arts, publishing houses, funding agencies, and the central and state government institutions, Agriculture, Rural Sociology, Extension, Medicine and Nursing, Women's Studies. Folklorists are also in high demand in the film business and on TV. Folk Entrepreneurs are becoming more and more important as job creators and providers, and the goal of this programme is to make scholars of folklore who can work on their own.
