Course Summary

This is a pathway of the MA Applied Anthropology & Community and Youth Work, aimed both at international applicants who may not need a British National Youth Agency qualification and those who want to become specialists in community development.

Why study MA Applied Anthropology & Community Development

  • This MA is a second pathway to the MA Applied Anthropology and Community and Youth Work. It was launched in 2012 as an option for international or home students who do not need an National Youth Agency qualification and for those who want to specialise in community development. A third pathway, the MA Applied Anthropology and Community Arts started in 2015.
  • The three pathways entail different placements but are taught together, providing much opportunity for exchange of ideas and collaboration amongst students.

Careers

Our graduates find work directly or indirectly related to the disciplines relatively quickly after graduating, or even while on the programme. The majority of our students gain work in youth work or community work.

Modules

This module aims to complement the Anthropological Theory module by introducing you to the research methods used by anthropologists. It will return to some of the key texts used in the previous term to critically analyse the links between theory and methods. The module provides you with experience in working with qualitative and ethnographic methods to support fieldwork and dissertation modules. It is designed to follow the three stages of research design and report writing: scoping and planning, conducting research and analysing data, and writing it up.
