Course summary
The MA Anthropological Research course is designed to prepare you to carry out doctoral level research in social anthropology. It provides training in a wide range of research methods and teaches you how to develop a substantive research project in a theoretically and methodologically informed way. Although, primarily intended as preliminary to doctoral research, the course is also available as a stand-alone taught master's degree to improve your social research skills and gain an in-depth understanding of ethnographic methods and approaches. You will work closely with an expert supervisor in social anthropology, with further guidance from a second supervisor. All students attend the following core course units:
- Issues in Ethnographic Research I and II;
- Postgraduate Research Seminar;
- Independent Theoretical and Ethnographic Analysis I; and
- Introduction to Quantitative Methods.
