The Anthropology MRes programme offers students a thorough grounding in a wide range of social science or biological methods, theories, and approaches. You will receive specialist training in qualitative and quantitative methods, and gain an advanced knowledge of contemporary theoretical and ethnographic questions in anthropology. The programme prepares graduates for doctoral research or employment as social science researchers. Students develop an advanced knowledge and understanding of topics in one of the four sub-disciplines of anthropology (biological, social, medical, or material culture). They are prepared for advanced-level research through a general training in social science or biological research methods and specialised research training in broad-based anthropological research methods and techniques.
