MPhil in Anthropology and Sociology in Camden United Kingdom | School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

During their initial year, each MPhil candidate is assigned a three-member research committee consisting of a primary supervisor, secondary supervisor, and the Research Tutor. Candidates participate in weekly Research Training Seminars and complete the Research Methods course, along with necessary language instruction. Depending on their specialization, MPhil students might need to enroll in supplementary regional, theoretical, or thematic courses. After successfully submitting a 20,000-word research report and fieldwork proposal, MPhil candidates advance to PhD status and begin their fieldwork. This research phase provides the foundation for a 100,000-word dissertation, expected to showcase innovative ideas and contribute meaningfully to the field. Following fieldwork, PhD candidates join weekly post-fieldwork seminars and can present their ongoing research. Both MPhil and PhD students are urged to participate in the diverse seminars and workshops offered throughout the School.
