We welcome students with the appropriate background for research. If you wish to study for a single year, you can do the MA or MSc by research, a 12-month independent research project. Students interested in doctoral research usually register initially for an MPhil, which upgrades to PhD subject to satisfactory progress.
The first year of the MPhil includes coursework, especially methods modules for students who need this additional training. In general, you work closely with one supervisor throughout your research, although you have a committee of three (including your primary supervisor) overseeing your progress. If you want to research in the area of applied computing in social anthropology, you would also have a supervisor based in the School of Computing.
If you are interested in registering for a research degree, you should contact the member of staff whose research is the most relevant to your interests. You should include a curriculum vitae plus a short (1,000 word) research proposal, and a list of potential funding sources.

Duration: MSc one year full-time or two years part-time, MPhil two years full-time or three years part-time, PhD registration three to four years full-time or five to six years part-time.
In Anthropology we pride ourselves on having a close-knit group of research students who know and can approach any member of staff for help and assistance. We have an ongoing staff/student research seminar with a varied programme of seminars given by members of the department and visitors. There is a special seminar for research students in which advanced training is provided (subject to discussion with each cohort of students), students practise upgrade presentations and later present chapters of their draft thesis.
Research students are encouraged to audit courses from the taught Master's (eg in field methods) and sometimes from the undergraduate programme. There are special training courses for research students run by the Graduate School, Information Services and Unit for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching. There is a departmental IT officer who can provide assistance and advice in IT matters, and a statistics helpdesk is available.
