Has anyone gone through the process of applying to a program in the UK? Beyond just the logistics that are applicable in any field, I'm asking specifically for anthro. Is the SOP worded/written any differently? Are their SOPs more specific or more general than those in the US (I understand this varies across schools and departments).
Lastly, if I did an MA program in the UK, what would my chances be of continuing with a PHD in the US? Would I be better off continuing in the UK seeing as some US programs may just require me to get a second MA?
Btw, I'm going for a MA in Migration Studies that are within Anthropology/Geography/Global Studies departments (as opposed to a focus on law or policy). à la Oxford, SOAS
Thanks!
