Course summary
The Department of Anthropology offers supervision in a wide range of areas for research degrees.
In addition to the particular research interests of each member of staff, we have a number of postgraduate students undertaking research of contemporary social and political relevance in Britain and Europe.
Current students are engaged in research projects covering a broad range of subjects, located in Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
How do I choose between MRes and MPhil/PhD?
Normally research students register for the MRes in order to complete the requisite training for carrying out a doctoral research project. You then transfer to MPhil status after completing your MRes dissertation in September (or in your second year if you are part-time).
However, if you already have a substantial background, it is possible to register directly for the full-time MPhil, provided the Department and your future supervisor(s) agree.
MPhil-registered students audit the same research training modules as MRes students without assessment. They prepare material for their formal ‘upgrade’ viva to PhD status, which may allow them to upgrade to PhD status and fieldwork or other forms of data-collection in that year (not before May), but usually not before the end of that first year.
Whether you start registered as MRes or MPhil, upgrading to PhD status takes place at a later date.
Careers
Our PhD students have taken up academic posts in anthropology as well as related fields all over the world. Some have joined NGOs or GOs and taken employment as researchers, teachers and in broadcasting.
