MA Social Anthropology Programme with Intensive Language (Turkish ) in Camden United Kingdom | School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

Social anthropology explores human cultures and societies across the globe, examining each culture within its own context while recognizing how cultural understanding helps interpret our world. This field equips us with essential frameworks for comprehending human diversity, enabling deeper insights into how individuals, communities, and institutions perceive reality.
At SOAS, social anthropology serves as a gateway to the field's foundational concepts, historical development, theoretical approaches, and methodologies. No prior anthropology background is required to benefit fully from this program. It offers an ideal starting point for adopting an anthropological perspective on global issues or serves as a stepping stone for those considering advanced research degrees in the discipline.
For students with previous anthropology experience, SOAS's postgraduate programs provide opportunities to refine specialized interests through advanced study, including language acquisition and in-depth independent research via the Dissertation module.
The two-year MA (discipline) with Intensive Language (Turkish) pathway caters to students focusing on Turkish studies, combining disciplinary coursework with rigorous Turkish language training designed to develop both textual analysis and conversational skills.
This program merges your chosen academic discipline with intensive Turkish language study across two years, including an immersion period in Turkey.
