Anthropology is the study of humans, their development, and their cultures. If you are interested in expanding your knowledge in this field, you may benefit by pursuing a Master of Science (MSc) in Anthropology.

One of the first questions you may have when you learn more about this degree is, what is an MSc in Anthropology? This degree gives students the ability to study anthropological theory and analysis as well as different approaches to studying contemporary society. Students may spend time participating in classwork, but a large majority of their time will likely be spent performing fieldwork.

One of the main benefits of pursuing a master’s degree in anthropology is that it will help graduates develop a strong foundation in anthropological research methods. Not only will students be able to refine their research skills, but they may also be able to work with those in this field that have pioneered new research methods and studied many different cultures throughout the world.

How much it costs to obtain an MSc in Anthropology depends on a variety of different factors. These factors may include the length of the program, the institution attended, and the cost of tuition at that particular school. Carefully research the costs of each program before applying.

With a master’s degree in anthropology, graduates can work in an educational setting helping others understand various cultures throughout the world. However, for those who would prefer not to teach, careers are possible as researchers, human resources officers, community development workers, local government officers, or in any other position that requires advanced knowledge of cultural systems.

Students interested in obtaining a master’s degree in anthropology should start taking some necessary steps to prepare. Often, online classes are available for students living in remote areas or who need to juggle the demands of both school and work.

The MSc in Ecology and Evolution is a combination of in-depth training and the opportunity for designing a tailor-made program in ecology and evolution. In our program, students form collaborative cohorts and frequently interact with their supervisors & teachers. They also receive coaching from a personal mentor. They can participate in a broad spectrum of research projects, tailored to the individual preferences of the student, ranging from microbes to whales, and from molecules to ecosystems. Research can be conducted in the field or in the lab and theoretically as well as experimentally. There are also opportunities to conduct fieldwork in diverse environments (on all five continents), including the nearby Wadden Sea (on the UNESCO World Heritage list) and the arctic regions. We offer a double degree for the track Evolutionary Biology with the universities of Uppsala, Montpellier or Munich. Besides that, our faculty is the home of the 2016 Nobel laureate in Chemistry, Ben Feringa, and GELIFES is the home of the 2014 Spinoza Prize winner, Theunis Piersma. -
