This programme is intended for those who have taken the MA in Visual Anthropology (or a similar degree elsewhere) who then wish to engage in further original research but without committing themselves to the PhD with Visual Media programme.
The duration is one year full-time or two years part-time. If the making of an ethnographic film is involved a further extension of six months is normally granted.
Students work together with a supervisor to produce a thesis, which may include original fieldwork and the making of an ethnographic film of a maximum duration of 40 minutes. However, it may also be based entirely on second-hand bibliographic and filmographic or other visual media sources. In the latter case, the length of the thesis should normally be in the range of 35-40,000 words. But if a film is produced the required wordage is reduced to 25,000 words. In this case, although the text will be of paramount importance, the film will be regarded as an integral and necessary aspect of the work submitted.
This programme is delivered in conjunction with the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology. For further details about the work, facilities and staff of the Granada Centre, please see

Academic Requirement - MA in Visual Anthropology from Manchester (or similar degree elsewhere).
Having an expert supervisor is extremely important for success in Research degree programmes and it is part of the application process that we seek suitable supervision for candidates. We cannot provide supervision across all areas and we are therefore sometimes unable to offer admission to excellent applicants. We strongly advise candidates to read the webpages of the staff or group in whose discipline they intend to specialise and to read some of their publications BEFORE applying. You may conduct a keyword search via the Social Sciences home page to identify potential supervisors/research areas.
Feel free to make direct contact with any academics to discuss your proposed research topic. Please note that such contact can only be informal and no decision can be made on your application until it is submitted and processed through the Postgraduate Admissions Office. If you make a positive contact with an academic, please make sure to include their name on your application form when you submit it.
