Location of The University of Edinburgh

This course is primarily intended for graduates with little or no previous training in anthropology; these may be students contemplating future doctoral research in social anthropology or students who wish to acquire anthropological expertise to supplement their existing range of professional skills.

The degree offers an intensive introduction to contemporary social anthropology. The courses range from those which offer a general overview of theories and theorists within social anthropology to those concerned with the examination of more specific issues.

Learning Outcomes You will gain an advanced understanding of the distinctive nature of social anthropology and its contribution to a critical and informed understanding of the contemporary world. You will also develop an advanced understanding of theoretical and methodological debates within social anthropology.


Contents

The course will be taught by a combination of graduate-level seminar work, accompanied by attendance in some undergraduate honours courses.

The course combines two terms of coursework with a substantial dissertation. Courses are normally assessed by one essay of 4,000 words.
