Anthropology

The Postgraduate Certificate in Anthropology is a one-year part-time course designed for students who would like to make a transition to studying anthropology but have no previous background in the subject, or for students who for various reasons are not yet ready for the full MA programme. Students sit the four modules that form the historical, methodological and theoretical 'spine' of all our MA programmes in anthropology, thus preparing them to continue on to apply for a full MA programme if they wish.

Subjects taught

Students take 40 credits worth of modules over 1 Year.
