MA in Social Anthropology
Are you interested in a career in anthropology, but haven’t studied the subject before? Have you studied anthropology in the past, but need to consolidate this experience before moving into anthropological research? This MA offers students from all disciplinary backgrounds the opportunity to build a solid base in social anthropology, its theoretical foundations, methodology and ethnographic diversity.
1 year full-time or 2 years part-time.
You should have an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard in a relevant subject. If your first language is not English, please check our English Language requirements.
Students interested in pursuing careers in the media, research, teaching, policy and many other fields will find the programme of value. Recent graduates have been employed by Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières, and the Royal Anthropological Institute. It also provides an excellent grounding for students interested in pursuing research in social anthropology – several have gone on to complete research degrees at Goldsmiths.
