This course will equip you with high quality training in anthropology and anthropological research, particularly if you are considering PhD study.
If you’re keen to enhance your career through the acquisition of advanced knowledge and research skills in anthropology, or if you haven’t studied anthropology before, but have a strong interest in developing your own research, then this course is for you.
You’ll have the opportunity to design, in collaboration with academic staff, a set of guided study modules to complement the suite of taught modules, to suit your particular research interests.
The MRes programme at Brunel marries the best aspects of the traditional apprenticeship system of anthropology, where you will work with a leading anthropologist in their geographical area of interest.
Brunel student projects in anthropology have been or are currently funded by a number of funding sources including the British Council, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme, the World Health Organization, national and local governments as well as NGOs.
The MRes is specifically designed for those considering doctoral or PhD study in anthropology, as well as a stand-alone qualification. The broad range of research strategies taught also makes it an excellent basis for professional development and research in other areas of social science.
Students need to have a 2:2 or above UK Honours degree in a Humanities or Social Science subject with a personal statement demonstrating knowledge of interest in subject area, or an equivalent overseas qualification. Other subjects may be considered on a case by case basis. A Research Brief: this should be 750 words outlining your research interests in the field of Social Anthropology and should include: an introductory outline of a research project that could reasonably be completed with 2 to 3 months of empirical research; Research questions: include up to 3 research questions or problems that will guide your research; Literature: outline the anthropological literature that relates to your research questions, and that you are interested in exploring further; Research context: describe or explain the social context within which your research is situated, or where it will take place; Methodology: how will you carry out the research; Identify some of the key ethnographic methods which you expect to use in your research project; Following a successful evaluation of your research brief and qualifications, you will be invited to an interview.
