MAGISTER ARTIUM / MAGISTER SOC SCI

We have two options for students choosing to specialise in Anthropology:

  1. Master of Arts Specialisation in Anthropology (MA)
  2. Master of Social Science with Specialisation in Anthropology (MSocSci)

Minimum study period: 1 years
NQF level: 9
Total credits: 192

  1. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
    In addition to the requirements as presented in 1.4 under General Information in this Rule Book, the following also applies:
    • Students may be admitted to the Master’s degree in Anthropology if they have a BAHons or BSocSciHons (at Exit Level 8) with specialisation in Anthropology, or a cognate discipline.
    • Final admission of an applicant is subject to the approval of a written research proposal and the oral presentation thereof.

    The decision on admission is subject to the results of the compulsory academic literacy test (TALPS). The applicant must write the TALPS test at her/his own cost and must pass all sections of the test with a rating of at least 6. The weight of the test results will comprise 15% of the admission criteria, except where the language proficiency is so low (bottom 7,5% of the students) that it would be unethical to admit the applicant.

  2. CURRICULUM
    Students select a research topic in consultation with the study leader and academic head of department and present research results in the form of a research dissertation.
