MPhil in Biological Anthropological Science

University of Cambridge

The MPhil in Biological Anthropological Science is a special course offered to students who already have substantial knowledge in biological anthropology. Students will be trained in a particular specialisation through independent, supervised research. By the end of the course, students will have carried out a substantial research project. The main aims of this MPhil programme are: to offer students with relevant preparation and experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in the discipline under PhD-style supervision and to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests. By the end of the course, students should demonstrate that they can design and carry out investigations, assess and interpret the results obtained, and place their work in the wider perspective of the subject.
