Course programme

Compulsory modules
  • The Anthropology of Connections: Interdisciplinarity as Methodology: through lectures and seminars, students are shown how anthropology can be extended and illuminated by working with methodologies and concepts drawn from history, social science, philosophy, language and the arts.
  • Research Methods in Social Anthropology: examines the methodology of anthropological research through close attention to the relationship between method and fieldwork experience.
  • Special Subject (Amerindian Studies): available for students with a well thought out and specific research
Optional

Optional modules are subject to change each year, and some may only allow limited numbers of students (see the University’s position on curriculum development). Students also have the option of choosing other modules available within the Department.

Dissertation

Student dissertations will be supervised by members of the teaching staff who will advise on the choice of subject and provide guidance throughout the research process. The completed dissertation of not more than 15,000 words must be submitted by a date specified in August.

If students choose not to complete the dissertation requirement for the MRes, there are exit awards available that allow suitably qualified candidates to receive a Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma. By choosing an exit award, you will finish your degree at the end of the second semester of study and receive a PGCert or PGDip instead of an MRes.
