MPhil in Medical Anthropology

The two-year MPhil course offers coordinated training in both social and biological anthropological approaches to health and illness, with special emphasis on methods. It provides the necessary basis for future anthropological research and an excellent cross-cultural grounding for those aiming to pursue a career in anthropology, global health or other health-related fields. The MPhil is similar in topical scope and breadth to the MSc, but it allows for a deeper engagement with the theory and practice of anthropological research. Many graduates from the course enter teaching and research. There is also some recruitment by public bodies, larger private companies, development agencies, NGOs and other organisations.
