Program details
Overview
This Master of Arts in Anthropology offers two routes: a coursework-based option, completed in about twelve months without fieldwork, and a thesis-based option requiring original ethnographic fieldwork, normally completed in two years. The thesis route emphasizes empirical research methods, and many students produce ethnographic films alongside their written research. Admission normally requires a bachelor's degree, minimum second class, in Anthropology or a cognate discipline, with at least 75 percent in Anthropology coursework; applicants from other disciplines are expected to complete supplementary coursework in Anthropology. Applicants are encouraged to contact a potential faculty supervisor before applying. Intake is in the Fall term. The program suits students seeking either a shorter, coursework-focused credential or in-depth training in ethnographic research methods, preparing graduates for further doctoral study or research- and policy-related careers drawing on anthropological training.
