Master of Arts (Honours) - Social Anthropology (L600)
The University of Edinburgh
What you will study
Social anthropology is the study of human conduct and thought. Societies around the world vary enormously socially, culturally and politically. The study of these variations, and the common humanity that underlies them, is at the heart of social anthropology. There are close links between social anthropology and sociology, human geography, development studies, history, archaeology, and philosophy.
Students will take a broad range of courses in Year 1 and 2, which will give them a good grounding in the study of anthropology. This includes an opportunity to undertake anthropological research.
The graduates will further develop their understanding of the subject and research skills in Years 3 and 4 by choosing from a variety of advanced optional courses and undertaking a dissertation project of their own design.
Between Year 3 and 4 they will spend up to four months on an individual research project that will form the basis of their dissertation. Fieldwork for students project can be done both within and outside the UK.
