Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
The Department of Anthropology offers supervision in a wide range of areas for research degrees.
In addition to the particular research interests of each member of staff, we have a number of postgraduate students undertaking research of contemporary social and political relevance in Britain and Europe.
Current students are engaged in research projects covering a broad range of subjects, located in Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
**How do I choose between MRes and MPhil/PhD?**
Normally research students register for the MRes in order to complete the requisite training for carrying out a doctoral research project. You then transfer to MPhil status after completing your MRes dissertation in September (or in your second year if you are part-time).
However, if you already have a substantial background, it is possible to register directly for the full-time MPhil, provided the Department and your future supervisor(s) agree. MPhil-registered students do exactly the same research training as MRes students, but they present a student dissertation in May, in order to fast-track to fieldwork or other forms of data-collection.
Whether you start registered as MRes or MPhil, upgrading to PhD status takes place at a later date.

| Level | RQF Level 8 |
| Entry requirements | Most direct entrants to this programme already have a first degree or an MA in Social Anthropology. If you don't have this, you should normally do an MA, or you may be able to take a qualifying year conversion course. There is little difference between the taught Masters and the qualifying year, except that the qualifying year is not a qualification in itself and involves no dissertation. If you achieve the required standard, you can apply to register for the MRes or MPhil/PhD. If English isn’t your first language, you’ll need to meet our English language requirements of IELTS 6.5 with a 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0 to study with us. |

Master of Research - MRes
Summary
This programme offers advanced-level training to students who normally already have an undergraduate or MA degree in Anthropology.
Close supervision enables you to focus on your own research and helps tailor the generic training to the individual proposal being developed.
The programme provides you with a wide range of generic training in social science research methods, and in-depth training in anthropological methods and research issues. It is designed to serve as the first (training) year of a research degree (MPhil/PhD) for those starting MPhil/PhD studies at Goldsmiths, although it can also be taken as a stand-alone programme.
The programme includes research design; research methods (quantitative and qualitative); optional language training, and a dissertation, which prepares the ground for fieldwork or other data-gathering. The dissertation includes a detailed account of your proposed research, and analysis of relevant theoretical and regional literature.
