Course summary
Programme overview
The MA in Anthropology will help you to develop a nuanced and cross-cultural perspective on the challenges that humans face in our fast-changing world, with content that reflects our research strengths in adversity, adaptation and globalisation. You will put this understanding into practice through hands-on activities and work experience in Bristol’s thriving media, creative and cultural industries, as well as social enterprises. In addition to the core themes of the programme – which explore inter-related real-world themes such as sustainability, technology, engagement, arts and materiality - you will receive advanced training in theory and method delivered through world-class research-led teaching.
The programme will introduce you to anthropological research design and data analysis using qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, including ethnographic and visual methods; survey, interview and focus-group design; statistical analyses and hypothesis testing; and ethics. You will have the opportunity to undertake an off-campus placement with an external partner such as a media-tech company, start-up, museum, heritage organisation, archive, NGO or local authority. You can gain first-hand experience of working in a vibrant, innovative and diverse industry while putting into practice the skills you have learned throughout the course. The programme will enhance your skill set and employability by providing valuable work experience and developing a network of contacts in and beyond work placement providers.
Careers
An anthropology master's degree can lead to employment in a variety of sectors, from education, government, charity and international development, to medicine, film and business.
Anthropologists are trained to understand cross-cultural issues and the complexities of social interactions between local groups and global forces. This deep understanding of cultural differences and human relations is highly beneficial for working with people and using diverse perspectives.
You could go on and work in academia as lecturers or researchers with postgraduate studies, or find opportunities as corporate anthropologists in local and international businesses that value research and analytical skills. Anthropologists are in demand within the public sector for their planning, research and managerial capacities.
