Department of Anthropology

Anthropology at LSE has a strong international reputation and a long and distinguished history of leadership in the discipline. The Department offers a dynamic and engaged research culture with a strong commitment to teaching and to promoting an inclusive environment.

We combine innovative research in the unfolding contemporary world with maintenance of the core anthropological traditions: long-term empirical research, commitment to a broad comparative enquiry on the nature of human sociality and human nature, and a constructive but critical engagement with social theory. Our weekly Friday morning Research Seminar has, since Malinowski's time, been the venue for cutting-edge, intensive debate on current research in the discipline.

The Department offers six different graduate programmes:

MSc Social Anthropology
MSc Social Anthropology (Learning and Cognition)
MSc Law, Anthropology and Society
MSc Anthropology and Development
MSc Anthropology and Development Management
MSc China in Comparative Perspective

For further information on the choice of programmes see the Department of Anthropology website and for information on how to apply visit the graduate study website.
