MA Anthropology

We are offer an MA course in Anthropology, which began in 2019-20. This programme incorporates world-class research-led teaching with real work experiences in Bristol’s thriving media, creative and cultural industries and a wide range of social enterprises. Students will be introduced to work placement opportunities, and receive advanced training in anthropological theory and research methods, which lead to strong analytical and research capacities and a set of transferable skills essential for future careers.

Research programmes (MPhil, PhD)

We welcome and encourage applications for postgraduate degrees by research. In addition to topics focusing on single research areas, we actively encourage interdisciplinary research that cuts across the spectrum of archaeological and anthropological studies, or other intellectual disciplines in the Faculty of Arts and beyond. Joint supervision may be provided.
