MSc in the Anthropology of Health & Illness
A Message from the Director
Welcome to the web pages of the MSc in Anthropology of Health and Illness. Here you will find, we hope, some answers to the key questions that you might have about our increasingly popular programme and what we offer.
The programme is intended for a diverse range of students. They will range from those who have studied anthropology and wish to specifically explore the question of health and public health, to those with a health related background wishing to develop and understand anthropology and its applications. This makes for a distinctive and vibrant inter-disciplinary intellectual atmosphere. The degree also acts as a conversion MSc. for those without a training in anthropology who wish to progress to a research career.
These pages will tell you more about the aims and structure of the programme, the kind of opportunities it can lead on to, and will let you see what previous students thought of the programme. If, after looking through these, you still have questions, then please e-mail me I can answer your questions and add them to our FAQ database.
All the best, Stefan
Dr Stefan Ecks
