Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
The Biological Anthropology by Research Master’s programme gives you the opportunity to conduct independent research supported by a team of supervisors, led by one of our internationally recognised academics. Our regional expertise and breadth of thematic interests enables us to offer supervision across a wide range of topics within the fields of socio-cultural, biological, medical and visual anthropology.
Our Master’s by Research courses are either one-year full-time or two years part-time. You research and write a thesis under the supervision of one or two academic staff. We have a vibrant research group whose interests stretch across the range of biological and evolutionary anthropology.
We can provide extensive and modern data-analysis facilities as well as a newly-refurbished research lab dedicated to biological and evolutionary anthropology.
We are actively recruiting new research students, and if you have an idea or topic you want to pursue, then we will help you develop your project.
A good honours degree (2.1 or above) in Biological Anthropology or a cognate discipline.

All of our Anthropology Master’s programmes are recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council (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 go on to do PhD research. Others use their Master’s qualification in employment ranging from research in government departments to teaching to consultancy work overseas.
