MPhil Social Anthropology

University of Sussex

Join one of the leading Anthropology departments in the UK where a diverse community of expert faculty and doctoral students carry out cutting-edge research. You’ll be part of a lively and global PhD community of researchers who conduct ethnographic and theoretical research on social and human life across the world. We’re proud of our interdisciplinary engagement with a range of fields, and we have a particularly close affinity with development studies, cultural studies, global health and human geography amongst others. Within the School of Global Studies, we host one of the UK’s largest doctoral research communities in Anthropology, where diversity, inclusion and representation give our community a unique identity. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
