From the politics of contemporary issues such as migration and gender inequality to how political leaders make decisions and social movements challenge them, this course will teach you to reassess the world around you. Find out how communities shape politics and discover an appreciation of complex lived experiences from around the world. Gain a global understanding. As Europe's youngest and most culturally diverse city, Birmingham is the perfect place to pursue a degree in Social Anthropology and Politics. Alongside practical research experience, you will gain critical and transferable skills that open up a broad range of career opportunities. You can also take advantage of our work-based placements and employability focused modules available to all our students. Enjoy an active and social student community - from talks, trips and podcasts to quizzes and celebrations. In recent years, our first years have enjoyed a Sudanese food evening and second and third years have gone on trips to the V&A in London and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. You’ll be assessed in different ways to suit each module. At the start of a module, you’ll be told how and when you’ll be assessed. Methods will vary but may include coursework (e.g., essays), group or individual presentations and projects, exams, reports or computer-based assignments.
