Palaeoanthropology MSc

The MSc in Palaeoanthropology provides an up-to-date foundation in the study of human evolution for people interested in human origins. The programme's especially suitable for graduates with a first degree in Archaeology, Anthropology, Earth or Life Sciences. You'll be able to tailor your studies to reflect you interests, by choosing from a diverse array of subjects such as:- the archaeology of early hominin sites, African archaeology, hominid palaeontology, evolutionary theory, primate evolution, and science-based techniques in palaeoanthropological investigation. You'll complete your programme with a dissertation of 15,000-20,000 words on an aspect of human evolution. We aim to be flexible, supportive, encouraging and challenging in our approach to students. For example, if you're new to a topic you're very welcome to attend lectures offered in Year Three modules of the undergraduate programme in Evolutionary Anthropology.
