MA Hons Social Anthropology

The MA (Hons) in Social Anthropology explores the fundamental question of what it is to be human . It seeks to answer this by examining the diverse ways in which human beings establish and live social lives in the contemporary world. Although Social Anthropology involves studying a full variety of human contexts, at St Andrews the chief focus is on societies in East and West Africa, the Pacific, South America, the Caribbean, Europe and Central Asia.
