BA (Hons) Anthropology

This BA programme is designed to tackle the fundamental questions about society and culture in the present and in the past, and explore the rich diversity of human life across the globe. You will explore both the empirical work that anthropologists have produced as well as the exciting theoretical debates that drive the discipline. You will learn about anthropological ideas concerning, for example, ritual, kinship, witchcraft and ethnicity, but also how anthropologists have contributed to debates on important current issues, such as health, war and violence, science and technology, consumption and the environment.You may also be interested in our BSc pathway which balances the study of social anthropology with training in the skills and methods required for the collation and analysis of quantitative data and evidence, and will introduce you to archaeological techniques.
