Why study Medical Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh?
The MSc in Medical Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh is a research-led programme for students who want to understand health, illness, medicine, care, and wellbeing as deeply social, cultural, political, and ethical phenomena. Through a combination of core training, specialist options, ethnographic approaches, and an independently designed dissertation, students develop the conceptual and methodological tools to study how health is lived, governed, contested, and transformed across diverse settings.
