MRes - Master of Research
Social Anthropology
Research
The MRes in Social Anthropology is intended for students who already have full training at undergraduate and/or Master's level in the methods and perspectives of Social/Cultural Anthropology.
The course is a one-year period of rigorous training in research issues and methods that leads to the production of an independently-researched 15,000 word dissertation (dissertation) and a substantial fieldwork proposal. The taught portion of the MRes programme is the same as the nine-month PhD pre-fieldwork training programme: students take the same courses in ethnographic methods and social theory, and receive the same close interaction with their supervisor, a senior member of department staff. There is also training in quantitative social science methods.
By the end of the course students should have:

Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK First class Honours Degree. A First-class Honours Degree or strong High Pass in a Master's degree in Social Anthropology is normally required. Applicants who do not hold such a qualification may wish to consider applying for the Department's MPhil programme in Social Anthropology.
