Program Information:
Durham has a uniquely strong Medical Anthropology Research Group including a large number of faculty (listed above), postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate students.
Our MSc in Medical Anthropology reflects the diverse interests of this group. Students may specialise in the socio-cultural aspects of medical anthropology; in biological aspects, including evolutionary medicine; and/or in its applied aspects, including issues related to public health and community medicine. The programme aims to prepare students for doctoral research in medical anthropology, a career in medical anthropology, or to provide a new perspective for those already engaged in a health profession. The MSc is appropriate for students with a background in anthropology, health, or a related discipline.
We also supervise PhD students, who normally undertake a 3 year programme of research.
