African Studies at University of Birmingham at Edgbaston

The MA African Studies is one of the most exciting programmes open to anyone wishing to delve into Africa-focused research.

The multidisciplinary programme provides students with the research training necessary to undertake a broad-based, multidisciplinary study of contemporary Africa. It provides them with an understanding of major social, cultural, political and economic developments in Africa and the Diaspora.

It enhances the ability of students to prepare and present to an audience material that they have researched. It also enables them to develop critical and analytical powers in relation to current events in Africa, as well as the ability to approach contemporary African issues from interdisciplinary standpoints.

As well as offering a range of original, research-led modules, students are also encouraged to participate actively in the AFRICA Talks, the Graduate Fora, the annual Cadbury fellowships and conferences and explore African societies, past and present, from multiple disciplinary perspectives.
