v This MRes provides a personalised and focused introduction to postgraduate research. It will enable you to develop into an independent researcher and produce an original research project, supported by an expert in the study of human evolution.

Training in research methodologies will be tailored to palaeoanthropology and your specific research proposal. You’ll co-design a bespoke reading list and individual assessment tasks in preparation for a substantial piece of research.

You’ll discover how to develop a research proposal, identify relevant evidence and sources, plan and undertake the research, and analyse and present your findings. Contemporary frameworks for researching human evolution and early hominid settings will be explored and the challenges of drawing conclusions about early hominid behaviour examined.

You’ll be supported by academic experts in the Department of Archaeology, Classic and Egyptology. Our team of MRes supervisors are actively engaged in research, ranging from early prehistory to late antiquity. Their specialisms include evolutionary theory, cultural evolution, Upper Palaeolithic art, and human osteology.
