Join one of the leading Anthropology departments in the UK where a diverse community of expert faculty and doctoral students carry out cutting-edge research.
You will be part of a lively and global PhD community of researchers who conduct ethnographic and theoretical research on social and human life across the world. We’re proud of our interdisciplinary engagement with a range of fields, and we have a particularly close affinity with development studies, cultural studies, global health, and human geography amongst others.
Within the School of Global Studies, we host one of the UK’s largest doctoral research communities in Anthropology, where diversity, inclusion and representation give our community a unique identity.
Areas of Study
Sussex Anthropology has a reputation for world-leading research and a commitment to studying global issues, including:
Degree requirements: You’re normally expected to have a Merit (an average of 60% of overall) in a master’s degree and an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree. Subject-specific requirements: Your qualification should be in anthropology or a closely related subject area. In exceptional circumstances, you may be considered for the degree if you have a qualification in a different subject area. You may also be considered for the degree if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing. We also offer a 1+3 route incorporating the MSc in Social Research Methods or further specialist research training modules within Year 1 for those without the required research training.
