Overview

Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within Anthropology and Geography whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in the discipline and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners.

When you study Anthropology, you’ll explore what makes us human, what drives our diversity and how we’re connected to our environment. Geography is the study of space, place, society and environment and the ways in which they interconnect.

Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.

Learning and teaching

You’ll learn in a supportive and stimulating environment. You’ll be part of a close-knit programme where you’ll know everyone and get lots of support from both teaching staff and fellow students. Participation and discussion are important features of the course that promote individual creativity and effective collaborative learning.

Most modules combine lectures and seminar-style discussion based on weekly readings. You'll have the chance to discuss and challenge a wide variety of critical views and perspectives in your seminars.

Career prospects

As you study, you’ll develop highly transferable skills and competencies in the areas that employers care about.

These include:

  • critical thinking
  • creative problem solving
  • written, spoken and visual communication, in a variety of media and styles
  • intercultural and interpersonal understanding
  • research and analysis
  • working independently and collaboratively

You’ll graduate able to analyse issues, express your ideas, inform and influence others, and respond to challenges – critical skills for the 21st century workplace.

Our graduates go on to work in diverse areas like

  • NGOs and charities
  • Social work
  • Publishing
  • Public relations
  • Marketing
  • Teaching
  • Media and journalism
  • The civil service

And many pursue postgraduate study, often here at Oxford Brookes.
