Overview
If you are weighing up Anthropology MA, the useful thing to know early is how much the entry terms vary between departments teaching it. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Anthropology is assessed mainly through extended written work. We currently work with 39 universities on this course across 30 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £16.000 to £34.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Where you land depends on your grades, your English and your timing. Send those three and we will tell you where you stand.
