Students who come to Cambridge to do the MPhil in Human Evolutionary Studies are interested in learning the broad and interdisciplinary field of evolutionary anthropology in depth, and to carry out a research project on a topic within the discipline at postgraduate level. Given that the programme includes both a taught and a research component, its scope is ideal for students who have a background in biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, zoology, archaeology, psychology, and medical and veterinary sciences. This is a demanding interdisciplinary programme of study and research that enables students to obtain in-depth knowledge across human evolutionary studies and specialist research training in an area within this field over a relatively short time frame. Students who do this course come to Cambridge from the UK and abroad.
