This MSc aims to provide sufficient knowledge of advanced medically related anthropology to enable students to utilise anthropological approaches in a range of research and professional roles. We train students in theoretical and applied aspects of the field, preparing them for careers that engage with and impact real-world contexts.

Students new to social science develop an understanding of social science approaches to experiences of illness and health, gaining skills required in anthropological field research and analysis. For students with previous social science training, we focus on dimensions particular to medical anthropology (e.g. diversity issues in clinical practice, therapeutic narratives, critical medical anthropology, traditional medical systems, mental health).

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme consists of one compulsory module (45 credits), three optional modules (45 credits) and a research dissertation (90 credits).

Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MSc in Medical Anthropology.
