Internationally Renowned Experts
Anthropology at QUB has offered a seminal programme in Ethnomusicology since the 1970s, when the subject was introduced by the late Professor John Blacking.
Students will also benefit from the work carried out in the Institute of Cognition and Culture (ICC) which is one of the world's first centres for research in cognition and culture. This is a burgeoning interdisciplinary field in which scholars seek to explain patterns of cultural stability and variation utilizing theories and methods of the cognitive and evolutionary sciences.

Student Testimonials
I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from staff and fellow students during my studies. Being part of a supportive community of researchers made the experience very rewarding. The programme gave me the space in which to explore my interest in anthropological research, and ultimately decide that continuing on to a PhD was right for me.

My experiences at Queen’s both in class and at conferences have been applicable to my career path in academia. Upon returning from Belfast, I began working as an assistant lecturer at Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, where I taught classes on
ethnomusicology and folklore. I am currently a PhD student at the Freie Universität in Berlin.”

MA Anthropology
I started this MA course without any formal training in anthropology and was initially worried about being at a disadvantage. However, I quickly found that everyone—academics and students alike—was incredibly welcoming and inclusive. The course staff quickly created an environment that felt very safe and supportive where I felt comfortable sharing my opinions, my work and things that were personal to me. The MA course offers a structured approach to exploring diverse topics in anthropology while also providing the flexibility to tailor your learning to your personal interests. I loved having the freedom to choose topics for assignments, with support and guidance from the lecturers. This autonomy made my learning experience much more engaging and relevant to my interests.
My favourite part of each module has been the group discussions. Even though we all read the same material, hearing everyone's different perspectives is always fascinating. The small class sizes in the MA were fantastic fantastic for deep learning, allowing us to dive deeply into the material.
I came away from the course with a love for studying anthropology and challenging the assumptions we all have in the world around us - so much so that I am now pursuing a PhD at QUB!

This module focuses on the key qualitative and quantitative techniques used by anthropologists in their field research, including participant observation, interviewing, the use of archives and written information, the production of genealogies, the collection and analysis of numerical data, etc. Students will learn about the place of these methods in the history of the discipline, and about the key debates surrounding the relationship between the anthropologist and his or her informants in the field; through a series of practicals, the students will learn how to use these qualitative and quantitative methods themselves. Two of these exercises will be formally assessed.
Learning Outcomes

Skills
Skills in literacy, the organisation of arguments, effective presentation of written work.
The module looks at the themes of ethnography and evolution in anthropology. Students choose to specialise in ethnography or evolution. Teaching of the ethnography takes the form of students reading a number of ethnographies and discussing and analysing these texts in class. Teaching of evolution draws on literature in the field of cognition and culture and focuses on the application of the logic of evolution by natural selection to the human mind and behaviour to help us better understand cross-culturally recurrent patterns in thought and behaviour.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module students will:
- be familiar with advanced understandings of anthropological perspectives
- be skilled at analysing ethnographic writing
- have gained experience in debating intricate questions in a critical fashion at an advanced level

- be prepared for the main specialist areas available in Anthropological Studies at MA level
Skills
Skills in literacy, the organisation of arguments, critical reflection, effective oral and written presentation, independent research and writing of research essay.
The module will study a core set of influential analytical perspectives through readings that demonstrate both continuities and shifts in anthropological enquiry. Topics covered include: anthropological and local perspectives; philosophical approaches in anthropology; new insights from studies of the self, narrative and the emotions; visual anthropology and ethnographic knowledge as part of the debate of ‘ways of seeing’; perspectives on environmentalism, materiality, affectivity, memory and subjectivity; cosmopolitanism as a political and moral condition.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module students will:
- be familiar with advanced understandings of anthropological perspectives
- become acquainted with recent writings in a variety of anthropological topics

It will particularly examine issues of group identity and cohesion in relations to conflict. Examining theories of ethnicity and nationalism it will examine power and hegemony of the state. In relation to this there will be a focus upon aspects of remembering and social memory, on the use of rituals and symbols and of the way acts of violence are legitimised or delegitimised.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module students will have:
• An understanding of how the discipline was shaped and how it is currently developing;
• An overview of contemporary theoretical debates and issues, and of the scholars propelling them;
