This advanced master's programme is designed for social scientists working in multidisciplinary research projects in the field of health and health care, for physicians and other professionals of health care, such as Departments of Public Health and programmes for prevention, for social scientists who wish to specialise in medical anthropology, for instance as part of their PhD programme planning, and for academic staff of universities planning to develop courses and/or research in medical anthropology.
Applicants for the AMMA are expected to have a master’s degree in any of the Social Sciences or in the field of medicine, public health, pharmacology, or a paramedical science. Students with a bachelor’s degree in one of these fields and two years of relevant working experience may also apply. The Admission and Exam Committee will evaluate professional qualifications other than these before admission is granted.
The programme is conducted in English, so students need to have sufficient proficiency in English to enrol in the university courses. They must be able to read textbooks, understand lectures, take part in classroom discussions, and do written work in English. Students who do not speak English as their native language are requested to take an IELTS or TOEFL test. Visit the AMMA website for specific requirements and further information.
Detailed and up-to-date information about the application procedure and deadlines can be found on the AMMA website.
The Amsterdam Master in Medical Anthropology provides an excellent foundation for students wanting to pursue further research and the teaching of medical anthropology. Qualified professionals will find jobs with government agencies, NGO’s, universities, or private businesses involved in health and health care. This programme will also help you to find work as a policy advisor, community worker, or otherwise in this field.
