MA Socio-Cultural Anthropology provides an opportunity to study humanity and the behaviours, societies and cultures that underpin the lives that are led as sentient beings.
You can study the course with an undergraduate degree in a subject other than anthropology as it offers a solid foundation of knowledge for both research in socio-cultural anthropology and preparing for an anthropology-related career.
Through studying this course, you will meet high-profile social anthropologists with experience of conducting fieldwork all around the world and develop a clear understanding of classical and contemporary writing and research.
The MA in Socio-Cultural Anthropology was challenging in the best way possible. The staff are incredibly supportive and provide tailored direction and advice in a wide range of research fields. Studying Anthropology at Durham is a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge researchers, in a friendly and enjoyable environment. The students and staff in the Anthropology department made this course an enriching and rewarding experience.
This course gave me confidence and knowledge of different cultures. Learning about social systems & structures enabled me to consider problems faced by immigrants and Indigenous peoples around the world. My research also allowed me to fulfil a lifelong dream to work with the First People's of Australia - the Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory.
