Course summary
Overview
Social Anthropology – Our MA Social Anthropology programme is designed on a modular basis offering different pathways to suit three categories of students:
- students with a degree in social anthropology wishing to pursue more specialist topics and/or more regional and language-based study
- students with little or no previous knowledge of social anthropology wishing to acquire a broad knowledge of the discipline
- students with little or no previous knowledge of social anthropology wishing to take the degree as a conversion course before proceeding to a research degree in anthropology
This two-year intensive language pathway is directed at students who wish to combine knowledge of the anthropology of development, with expertise in a regional language. It prepares students to apply their anthropological knowledge in a developing country context by achieving proficiency in a language.
Turkish - The two-year language pathway is directed at students with a professional and academic interest in Turkey. The intensive training in Turkish language aims at supporting students’ ability to tackle their disciplinary interests by engaging with written texts and in oral communication in Turkish.
Your chosen discipline is combined with intensive Turkish language over two years (including a period in Turkey).
Access to the Turkish language pathway is currently available for students with
- beginner, or
- post-beginner level of proficiency.
Students’ proficiency levels will be assessed through a placement test during registration week (specific dates will be provided to the applicants).
