GRADskills – enhancing researchers’ skills and employability PhD and MPhil research students at St Andrews have access to GRADskills, an extensive and award-winning generic skills development programme for early stage researchers. Further details of the GRADskills programme are available at:www.st-andrews.ac.uk/gradskills


Admission and Application Process Entry to the taught programmes is in September, and to the research programmes normally in September or January. The research programmes are available on both a full-time and part-time basis. Admission to all programmes normally supposes that you hold a meritorious undergraduate degree, normally 2.1 or better or its equivalent (e.g. GPA of 3.6 or better on a 4 point scale). The undergraduate degree does not need to be in the discipline of Social Anthropology, but candidates may be advised to take the MRes first, if they have insufficient anthropological preparation.


If your first language is not English you must satisfy the University’s language requirements for entry, by submitting a recognised language certificate (such as a TOEFL or IELTS certificate). See:www.st-andrews.ac.uk/elt/entry


Further information and an online application formcan be found on the Postgraduate Recruitmentweb pages (contact details on the back of this leaflet).
