This is the part-time version of the MA in Anthropology programme. 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. Students are also required to write a Masters thesis. The MA in Anthropology is primarily a degree that aims to equip students for later doctoral research or for professional careers that are enhanced by academic social-scientific knowledge or the particular skills of trained ethnographic researchers.
