Immerse yourself in the variety of cultures on our doorstep and beyond to build your understanding of the world and your role in it. Learn by doing, whether that’s collecting stories from refugees housed in the region, working with local communities to understand how different people engage with sport or using our location to explore the importance of the sea to coastal communities.*
All our modules rely on 100% coursework.We want to create inclusive learning environments, designing forms of assessment that reflect real working conditions and truly test the skills anthropologists will need to apply in their future careers. *
Learn anthropology through an innovative, hands-on approach.Throughout your time with us, you will get many opportunities to participate in real anthropological research.*
You will be taught by research-active anthropologists,who constantly publish work in renowned academic journals, ensuring your course is based on cutting-edge developments in the field. *
Take part in two major, funded field tripsthat enable you to practice core anthropological skills, and get to know your colleagues better. Travel to London and Oxford to visit various ethnographic museums, and take part in an international field trip to carry out fieldwork in a non-British setting. *
Shape the way anthropology is taught.Many of the subjects we teach are directly proposed by students themselves. That’s why you’ll learn about marine ethnography, humour and laughter, conspiracy theory, and anything in between.
