MA PGDip Social Anthropology

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

Course Description

The objective of this programme is to communicate an anthropologically-informed understanding of social life in both Western and non-Western societies. Its aim is to encourage students to question taken-for-granted assumptions and to view the world from a new perspective.

Through a set of core course units, students are provided with grounding in classical as well as contemporary debates in social anthropology and are introduced to the research methods and ethical positions associated with the discipline. Students then choose from a broad range of units offered around the Faculty of Humanities.

Students will then apply the social anthropological theories and methods learnt on the core units to particular substantive themes and topics.
