The MSc in Medical Anthropology course offers a unique opportunity to engage with anthropological approaches to the study of health, drawing on sociocultural, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives. The course provides a strong grounding in ethnographic approaches to the study of health, the political ecology of health and the application of anthropology to contemporary public health concerns, as well as a diverse range of options in areas such as theories of the body and evolutionary medicine.
