Kent has conducted pioneering research into human ecology, ethnoecology and anthropological approaches to the environment for many years. We put special emphasis on understanding biological knowledge in its social and cultural context. Members of staff have particular expertise in ethnobiological classification, historical ecology, computing applications, the human ecology of tropical subsistence systems, wildlife conservation, biodiversity management, agricultural change and sustainable development.
Contents
The following Master's programmes are recognised by the ESRC as having research training status, so successful completion of these courses is sufficient preparation for research in the various fields of social anthropology. Many of our students do, in fact, go on to do MPhil and PhD research. Others use their Master's qualification in employment ranging from research in government departments to teaching to consultancy work overseas.
Postgraduate Diploma students may study the same course content as MA and MSc students on the respective programmes, but diploma programmes run for nine months full-time and are assessed by essays and course participation alone. Diploma students who successfully complete the coursework may, on application, be accepted onto the research and dissertation module which leads to the award of MA or MSc.
