Anthropology

The University of Aberdeen offers a postgraduate research program in Anthropology, providing two distinct pathways: the MRes in Social Anthropology and the PhD in Social Anthropology. The MRes program focuses on advanced training in anthropological theory and research methods, culminating in a research project that may lead to a PhD. The PhD program allows students to develop their own research projects under the guidance of experienced supervisors. The department is known for its unique focus on the Anthropology of the North, as well as a broad range of contemporary social and cultural themes. Students can undertake their studies either full-time or part-time, with options for distance learning depending on the research project. This program is ideal for those looking to explore diverse ethnographic regions and engage in interdisciplinary research.
