This programme offers advanced training to students who intend to undertake a doctorate in Anthropology, and it presents a valuable stand-alone research degree in and of itself that allows students to apply for researcher positions.
How to choose between MRes and MPhil/PhD
All research students are encouraged to register for the MRes in order to complete the requisite training for carrying out a doctoral research project in Anthropology regardless of whether they hold a degree in Anthropology.
Students who complete the MRes successfully will transfer to MPhil status after completing the dissertation (usually in September) and register for the MPhil/PhD degree afterwards.
However, if you hold an MA in Anthropology with a substantial methods training component it is possible to register directly for the full-time MPhil programme provided the Department and your future supervisor(s) agree after interviewing you.
MPhil-registered students are expected to audit the courses available to the MRes students and present assessed material similar to the MRes dissertation during their first year to be upgraded to PhD status.
Only after they have been upgraded successfully they can start fieldwork or other forms of data-collection.
Students cannot be registered as PhD students without having gone through this process.
Most direct entrants to the MRes or MPhil already have a first degree or an MA in Social Anthropology. If you don't have this, and you do not want to take on of our MA courses, you should apply to the MRES, which acts as a qualifying year conversion course for the MPhil/PhD programme, but is also a stand-alone degree. If you achieve the required standard, you can apply to register for the MPhil/PhD.
