Anthropology
The MRes is designed to serve as the first (training) year of a research degree (MPhil/PhD) for those starting MPhil/PhD studies at Goldsmiths, although it can also be taken as a stand-alone programme. See Research degrees for more information.
The programme includes research design; research methods (quantitative and qualitative); optional language training, and a dissertation, which prepares the ground for fieldwork or other data-gathering. It includes a detailed account of your proposed research, and analysis of relevant theoretical and regional literature.
