Master of Arts in Anthropology and English

Program Overview

Anthropology and English at Aberdeen is a great combination of subjects. This programme will add to your thorough grounding in what it means to ‘be human’ and offers in-depth studies of language – in all its glorious variety of expression. Your will develop skills in critical thinking, communication and analysis through two highly-rated programmes at a recognised centre of excellence for both – which will appeal strongly to employers in business and many other fields.

Anthropology – for which we boast 100% student satisfaction – will give you a thorough grounding in humanity, the differences in human cultures and communities and how they have developed. You will gain a unique insight into behaviours, beliefs and attitudes all over the world and find connections between aspects of life such as family, economics, politics and religion.

English at Aberdeen gives you the opportunity to learn in a creative hub, rated second in the UK for the quality of its research. You will be inspired by enthusiastic teachers and researchers, themselves acclaimed authors and poets and be encouraged to develop your own creative writing skills while studying every period from Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton to contemporary English, Scottish, Irish, European and American writing. You will also learn about the cultural and critical impact of powerful and controversial modern works.

You will thrive in our dynamic international environment, at a historic university with an award-winning library, priceless literary treasures and in a region rich in tradition and heritage that also celebrates today's diverse cultures. You will gain the core writing, research, technical and presentation skills to open up a wide variety of careers as diverse as publishing, teaching, research, journalism, or any sector of business.
