Course summary

The MA in Anthropology is an advanced degree in socio-cultural anthropology in which students are given a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of the discipline, a block of modules that open up and explore the conceptual and methodological core of the discipline, and a series of specialised modules that show the range of socio-cultural anthropology today. The Department has particular strengths in the overlap between medical anthropology, security studies, digital transformations of society and global development, all of which are represented in our selection of specialised modules.
