Social Anthropology Ma (Hons)
University Of Edinburgh
Alexander, August 2007Overall score
Graduated this year and hugely enjoyed my university experience. Well-organised course, with some unusual course options, taught by some of the best known academics in the field.Possibly the only course which offers a practical element, where students conduct their own fieldwork and then write a 15,000 word thesis-this was a fantastic experience as it really is at the heart of the discipline.Highly recommended!
Study experience
Lecturers are varied but generally excellent.
Facilities
Library a bit outdated but is being refurbished.
Postgraduate life
